Things I've learned from drawing pornography;

1. Don't upload something unless you're okay with it being all over the internet. You'll never be able to erase it, it will always be there and in places you don't want it to be. People will ALWAYS re-upload your art, no matter how hard you copyright. It isn't about stealing the artwork to claim it as their own; they will simply share it on websites and it will be incredibly difficult, or even impossible to remove them. Part ways with no regrets.

2. Expect unwanted critique. Not only critique, but expect disgusted reactions. You can draw a heterosexual pair in a missionary position making love in the moonlight upon their bed after their wedding day, and someone will get offended. You may post your art on a safe website for friends to see, but if it leaks, re-read the first segment. Anonymous is not kind.

3. Drama stems from sex. Think about it; most drama within life is based around infatuation. If you revolve your art around it, don't be surprised when someone will find a way to make drama with you, even if it means you are an innocent by-standard with a pen in your hand.

4. Don't give away any personal information. As much as I'd love to trust everyone who finds their way into my gallery, I'm afraid to say that there are some very strange people out there, especially when they are introduced to you through a site full of strange hentai. If you are like me and have trouble being blunt and worry far too much about another person's feelings, you should; limit photography of yourself, don't share your personal facebook/sharing website, and keep a separate email/IM for your personal life and your pr0n life.

5. Get ready for a shitstorm. If you haven't drawn porn before but you already have a fan base, there will always be two kinds of people; those who are ecstatic and incredibly supportive, and those who will find it disgusting and try to discourage you. Hearing from both sides all the time is extremely confusing and discouraging. You may not be use to a stream of strangers hating on you, and you need to decide if drawing porn is worth the stress if you haven't had the "I don't give a fuck" epiphany yet. You are opening a whole new genre of art that has it's fair share of hate. Porn can be an extremely sensitive subject to some, and if you worry about the feelings of your followers, you may struggle immensely with it.

6. Everybody has their own tastes. Try not let that discourage you from your own fetishes. If someone wants heterosexual porn from you, and you want to draw homosexual porn, then keep at it. Do what you want to do. If a commission makes you uncomfortable because it's not your fetish, don't do it. It doesn't make you a bad person; it makes you an individual.

7. Try to not give a fuck. Do everything you can to try to detach the need for approval when you draw porn. Surround yourself with friends who are supportive, and don't let anyone make you feel less of a person for being sexual.
