my first try at spanking art

I'm in the middle of moving house at the moment, so apologies if my posting schedule is interrupted in the next week or so. I'm still planning to organise something exciting for my blogiversary, and will hopefully get the chance to post about that soon :)

I've mentioned here or there that I'm a fine artist and webdesigner in my vanilla life. I'm not completely out, which is why I've never posted any of my art here; my two selves need to remain separate. My art, too, is pretty vanilla: queer in places, but kink isn't one of the subjects I address. You could say that I don't need to create paintings to express my kinky side, because that urge is satisfied in making spanking films and writing this blog. But people have always asked me whether I do spanking art, and suggested that it would be the perfect integration of my two selves. The answer has always been no - but maybe I might in the future. To be honest, with no strong personal need to explore this side of myself through my art, the only reason to create fetish paintings is commercial, and I'm not particularly keen on that as an artistic motivation.

But a couple of months ago, a friend asked me if I could do some spanking drawings for him, and after sitting on the idea for just long enough that he thought I'd lost interest, I finally sat down and had a go a couple of weeks ago. I've never done anything like this before - line art isn't my usual style, and spanking isn't my usual subject matter. So these are very much a beginner's attempt. It was surprisingly satisfying, though. I might do more of these.





The spankee is loosely based on me, which isn't ego, just my inability to draw figures and having seen more photos of myself being spanked than any other model! These are obviously only sketches, but if I did more I'd probably try to work them up to greater levels of detail. And perhaps add colour, but I'm not sure about that one - what do you think? I'm also considering ditching the ink pen and doing a couple in my usual medium, as oil paintings, to see if I feel more at home that way.

As these were both for a friend, the subject matter was based on his tastes and preferences. I'd quite like to do some for myself, illustrating some of my own fantasies - and I'll probably find that if I do, I'll feel less like a fish out of water. I'm glad I was asked to do these, though, or I'd never have taken the plunge, and it feels good to have finally had a go. Let me know if you have any ideas for scenarios or themes - it'll give me more motivation to repeat the experiment. And I could use the practice :)
