Since I’ve been combing through an ungodly amount of fan fiction lately, I was thinking about how to depict physical intimacy that goes beyond cuddling on the couch but not into the explicit territory, or rather: how to deliver the feeling of being in that kind of moment without coming across too voyeuristic for the viewer. Not sure if these scribbles are yet where I want them to be, but I overworked them so much by now, it is time to leave them be.
Also it is just such a joy to draw these designs for those two – big and round vs small and angular but both of them just extremely soft. :)

[image description: three colored in sketches of Jon and Martin.
The first shows them kissing, both their faces mostly obscured by the other; Jon has one hand in Martin’s hair and Martin has one at the back of Jon’s neck, half under the collar of his shirt.
The second image is Martin’s profile pressed against Jon’s neck. Both are smiling happily and lost in the sensation.
The third is both of them sitting next to each other on a bed, coily but directly looking at each other. Martin is bare-chested and wears only his boxers, while Jon still is in a dark red shirt. His left hand rests tenderly on Martin’s upper thigh.]
