Embarrassing poses

A few days ago I started to teach myself how to draw in hopes to provide more content on my deviant art and twitter in the hopes it might bring in more readers. So far it's been a fun exercise. I always admired cartooning growing up as a kid and never thought I'd dip my toes into drawing erotic art. Of course, I never thought I'd write it and here I am several years later working on my second book. The image below, while a work in progress, still managed to excite me physically and mentally. It led me to thinking what it is that visual artists rely on to signify embarrassment and humiliation? In this case, it's the legs, squeezed together and bent at an inward angle that best signifies her dissatisfaction in being exposed. The legs close, as an attempt to cover herself despite being useless. The skirt around her ankles, acting as a bind is important too, it tells how her dignity was lost, sliding down her legs and revealing that which modesty tells us to hide. With the skirt around her ankles she is trapped, paralyzed as she stands there for others to drink in her body. The mouth and eyes were something I would liked to have changed. I didn't capture the shock in the eyes, wide and with terror. Her mouth while formed in a shape that expresses shock, isn't quite as horrified as I'd like. I think it's these details to the body showing embarrassment that are why I'm not solely an underwear fetishist. I do enjoy dressing my partners in various kinds, but the body formation of arms over breasts and sex, legs buckled, mouth agape in horror, that truly speaks to my fascination and attraction to the embarrassment fetish. Lastly, there is the hairstyle. I'm still working on hairstyles but it reminds me of a conversation I had with fetish director and model, Jordanna Leigh (find her work here: http://jordana-rama.com/verify). For enf lovers, the character being seen as dominant or "bitchy" is always important. More times than not this involves them wearing conservative business clothes. This way, when they are stripped, the humiliation is more potent, more status being lost with the revealing of the persons' body. This is why I chose the hairstyle in this image, it represents a classy, proper look that a woman might wear to a meeting or job interview, front bangs pulled back and pinned up in a neat bun. Once I finished with this piece I already began imagining who this woman was and what led to her embarrassing situation. Did she deserve it or was she the victim of some bully who is about to get her comeuppance? Maybe that's up for you to decide.
