Hi guys I’m IzzyBsides, a nsfw artist who’s been doing this stupid shit going on four years now and today I want to discuss getting over the discomfort of drawing porn. This video is inspired by this exact question I’m about to read out. So here we go.

Note that this is the script for the video below, if you want to see the full version with asides I thought of while recording I recommend watching the vid instead.

“I want to draw things like you guys do, but it makes me uncomfortable/embarrassed. I’m terrified of anyone I know seeing anything I draw, but I’m also kinda bashful. I’ve been drawing SFW for a long time, I want to expand my horizons. Any tips for getting over being embarrassed?”

My first tip would be to ease in at the shallow end and just draw what you’re comfortable with. I did a couple light nudes to start off with when I first got started and just slowly over time got more brasen about it as online randoms encouraged my degeneracy. There’s no rush and you should absolutely not do anything your uncomfortable with, mostly because you’ll suck at it. With art I believe you have to have some passion for the subject you’re drawing, otherwise you’re essentially doing the art version of the dishes, or vacuuming. Or even worse, an actual job.

other ways of dealing with the embarrassment is just like not telling anybody about it man. You don’t need to draw Pikachu getting triple penetration and then go bragging about it to your mum. Make a completely separate NSFW account and firewall the side hustle off from the rest of your normie life.

I’m pretty cagey about showing what I do to my friends etc. it’s pretty tough coming up with excuses for why I’m busy literally all the time but have nothing to show for it. But in that regard I’m pretty much the superman of porn.

Eventually you’ll accidentally let slip once or twice but it doesn’t seem like such a big deal after a couple years of doing it. True story, I once did a futa piece with a mad amount of dicks on it. Like, silly amounts. The commissioner said something like “I want her to have 20 dicks. No wait, 30! Maybe more”

and I told him that after twenty it’s really not worth trying to count them.

Anyway, I dropped that into my normal friend chat by mistake and a couple of my mates saw. It was so out of the blue they thought i was trolling. So anyway, now they just have that ONE picture they know I’ve done, and none of the cute vanilla ones

But yeah most of my friends have kind of an inkling of an idea of what I d11:02 PM 18/08/2022o now, but they know I’m not gonna be broadcasting it everywhere so leave it alone. You realise after awhile that it really doesn’t matter in the long run. You don’t die if someone sees your shame. And they all look at that shit in their free time anyway. Let he who is without jizz on his hands cast the first stone!

I would like to just take this moment to quote a commissioner who answered the question from their perspective. I thought it was quite insightful and worth sharing.

“I don’t draw but I was embarrassed to talk about nsfw topics and details with the artists when I first started commissioning nsfw art and the thought of having people recognize my handle when tagged on nsfw posts crossed my mind more than once.”

“I got over the embarrassment mostly by continuing to talk about it with artists and eventually it just became second nature.”

“As for the friends finding out. One big revelation for me that helped was the thought. If they find these posts/art and see I commissioned it then they were already looking at similar art and they will most likely not approach me for fear of outing themselves or approach me with an understanding/appreciation”

Anyway that’s about all I have for now. I do want to deep dive discussing kinks with clients more in the future, possibly even the next video, so subscribe if you want to see that when it comes out. Like the video if you have ever seen porn, and join my website if you want to support these videos and get free art and exclusive backer content. I’m not expecting any revenue from this Youtube gig so any dollary doos you can personally send me will literally keep me fed and warm.
