Thread to study the male body. Post your art, discuss artists, and post resources related to the subject of cute boys and handsome men.

Some resources:
>English Youtube channel with tutorials about ikemen/anime boys:
https://www.youtube.com/user/SirKite92/videos
https://www.youtube.com/c/Dospordos/videos

Rules:
>Do not take the bait or derail. Don't be a sperg.
>Only post SFW shota, link NSFW and suggestive from catbox. Don't post real life references.
>Don't fight about different male body types, shota/ikemen/bara. Nobody cares.
>No femboy/trans/traps/futa. Go to /salt/ for that.
>No tits, no coochies, no female body ratio.
>Don't sperg if a feminine male (not femboy) is posted, ignore if it's not your cup of tea, keep in mind the nature of stylization and simplification in anime and cartoon art styles before you choose to derail the thread, though crit is welcome like always.

Should I be worried about posting "ambiguously aged" characters on Twitter?
I have finished pieces but one character (famous) is 14 and the other is 16. I still say all characters are aged up just in case, but I also want to pursuit SFW art venues and I'm afraid people will think I'm a pedo and cancel me.
I'm thinking maybe I should just stop drawing shotas? Laovaan only draws twinks and nobody thinks he's a pedo and he's not been cancelled, maybe I should go that route?
Please help.

>>
>>6678769
plenty of professional artists are open shotacons, if anything it will prob improve your chances of getting into art professionally. popular twitter posters will shun you but not most industry professionals.

if you want exposure while drawing shota just try to follow/interact with "proship" ppl. they will be mostly mentally ill middle aged fujoshis but an audience is an audience & people with niche fetishes will be more willing to commission you. also a lot of them will be artists themselves.

for example there's a dude named scepterno on tumblr/twitter that posts about shotacon nonstop on all his porn alts but he's worked on multiple cartoons so clearly they dont care
>>
>>6678958
Scepterno only has a lot of followers because he draws haikyuu tranny yaoi, he doesn't even draw actual shota much.
>popular twitter posters will shun you but not most industry professionals.
For now, eventually the popular twitter artists will be the ones working on shows too. If you're a western artist like most of us are it will make things harder if that's the industry you want to work in. Unless you add queer proship in your bio and say you draw it to cope with being buttfucked by your uncle lmao

The art is really bad and the characters are ugly and you mean to say he has animated cartoons? Also I see no shotas there.

>>
>>6679777
When you check out the NFT account its followed by other industry professionals or they're mutuals, there would have been an uproar if her works were stolen and sold for thousands, and lastly baraag would be the only place to safely post a semi secret NFT account imo. Seems pretty real to me.
