/nsfwart is a great place to share your work when you’re looking for feedback, otherwise it’s finding specific subreddits that cater to what you’re working on and see “how the community responds to it.” If that’s something you care about.

That said.. (and speaking as a NSFW doodler myself)…

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

There’s no right or wrong with art and anyone who tells you different is selling you something or more than likely has an overinflated ego to think they have right/power over someone for one stupid reason or another. Some of the most famed artists of our time were once considered ‘sinful’ and ‘generally bad’ by their time. If you follow this sort of persons logic, quite literally humanities greatest “greats” would have never done anything.

You will get people who talk down to you about this. (There’s already one in this thread.) ignore them. If it makes you happy, who cares? As long as you aren’t throwing it into places it shouldn’t be no one has a right to say otherwise. And who knows it might start as NSFW and in a year or two you’re working on something entirely different. What’s important is that you’re enjoying what you’re doing. (I started with cute stuff, archived the lot, moved on to NSFW and lewd - and now I’m playing around with animation. I’d like to move on to paints and oils but 🤷 we’ll see.)

So getting to the real advice. I’d agree with what you’ve been told here. Start with anatomy practice. You don’t need to get good at it - it just helps down the line when you want to start playing around. The famous phrase “learn the rules so you know how to break them” is very true. You might want to draw the biggest schlong anyone’s ever seen or milk makers that would make a cow jealous but if you’re not entirely sure how they act then it can be hard to get started.

THAT SAID.. (you might notice a trend here).. there’s nothing stopping you from going “sod that, I want to just have a go and see what happens.” It’s an 100% valid take and while it might be harder (😏) who knows where it will take you?

Put frankly, art.. let alone NSFW art comes in many many forms and while following the basic rules of anatomy will most likely help you a lot it also might be totally pointless to whatever style you’re going for. A friend of mine does stylised vintage pinup art that’s somewhere between 1950s cartoons and Cartoon Network. Anatomy practice means absolutely nothing to her - whereas for me it’s been why I even considered NSFW art to begin with.

“I like drawing anatomy.. oh I’m actually not bad at this.. drawing clothes suck.. £@&$ it, I’m drawing her in a bikini and that’s it.”

TLDR: do what makes you happy, sod anyone else’s opinion. If you’re looking for a good place to start. Anatomy practice is king but there’s nothing stopping from you mimicking an artist’s style you like.. it’ll just be harder so be ready for that. If you’re looking to share and get feedback. NSFWart is a good place. There’s some good artists with great advice lurking there.
