Airlia -> Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 6:49:33 AM)

It will be my partner's birthday in a few weeks and he's requested I make him a drawing. I feel I'm skilled in this area. When I see something I can draw it accurately, but I do not know what to draw for him. I can't make up things in my mind and put it on paper because it won't look as nice. I like seeing something and then drawing.

He's been very kind to me and I want to put in the effort to give him a lovely drawing/painting. But of what?
If anything, he is a fan of masks, and romance.

Suggestions please?



tazzygirl -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 6:51:28 AM)

What kind of masks?



Airlia -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 6:52:09 AM)

He likes renaissance types. Masquerade things.



tazzygirl -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 6:53:18 AM)

Have you thought about going out, trying on such masks, taking a photo of yourself, then drawing that for him?



Airlia -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 6:58:01 AM)

I have thought about that, but finding those types of masks can be a bit difficult, seeing where I currently am at. It does sound like a nice idea, however.



sexyred1 -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 7:01:46 AM)

And how exactly is this a BDSM related question?

Why don't you just go to Tumblr for ideas, since you are a fan.

Oh sexyred - you are encouraging a mob mentality attack with that comment. Shame on you! [:D]



Airlia -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 7:15:27 AM)

Well, perhaps bdsm can be applied to the drawing.
Plus, I'd like to know what people would like to see in a drawing, seeing as though the relationship I am in is fully encompassing bdsm.
I want to know how I can apply this subject to the artwork.

Why can't you then find something beautiful to you, that moves you, and draw that?
That way you are sharing a piece of yourself.

Some of these include instructions on how to DIY a mask. All you need is the base mask form (most party shops, even craft stores sell them) then glue fabric, feathers, gems on it. http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=slv8-&sz=all&va=masquerade+mask



Airlia -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 7:34:17 AM)

Well, I think it is because I haven't drawn in a long time. I'm really hoping that whatever it is that I draw can be based on something I know he likes that way he understands that it is specifically for him.



Airlia -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 7:35:53 AM)

Thank you so much! Very helpful!



Kana -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 7:48:35 AM)

Buy a Mardi Gras mask and paint it for him.
Or better, buy His and hers, paint em, then find a way to incorporate into play.
That's an all win scenario there.



SwitchNSpanky -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 8:01:17 AM)

I have a feeling this will be a very cool gift.

Lots of great ideas here already. My one suggestion would be to see what kind of masks a costume rental shop in your area might have. Adult masquerade balls were big in my old hometown and our local store always had a good selection. You could rent or maybe even just borrow a mask, take a pic with you wearing it. And then draw that. Maybe even get a friend to put you in Masters fave tie while your in the mask for the drawing.

Again, very cool gift idea.

Where are you? Because I would imagine most costume shops will have masquerade masks on sale. Look up your local ones (both of the fancy-dress hire and the theatre suppliers type) and ask them over the phone if they have a selection. The ones you get from a proper theatrical supply will probably be more authentic and higher quality but may well be a little worn up close - nothing you can't fix in your drawing of course. You might also be able to hire one to draw since they are expensive to buy.

I know the one I'm wearing in my picture isn't particularly authentic, but I got a bunch of them (some much more elaborate) for just a couple of pounds each from a place in the mall that sold cheap jewellery. I wouldn't give the mask itself as a gift but perfect for basing your drawing on.

Other than that I don't have any more suggestions, since as you said, it will mean more if it's something he likes, and none of us know him.



njlauren -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 8:34:05 AM)

Another thought (whether it works for you or not I don't know:), would be to take an erotic picture of yourself, maybe with a bondage theme, use a photo editing program to superimpose a mask on it, then from there draw from the picture. Though as others have said, if you can get/make masks for you and your partner and present that with the picture you drew for him, well, would even be better:).

Or you could draw a picture of him in a mask, a romanticized portrait of him. Or another thought, give him a certificate for a drawing (after maybe buying the masks/making the masks), and have him sit for you, to pose for you, to draw it, and then have the posing sessions lead into fun:).

There are a lot of possibilities here, it depends on him, of course. An erotic picture of you two together in a hot setting could be great, too:)

I think you should pop out of a cake for him.

Duly warned, lol



ResidentSadist -> RE: Help, please. Birthday gift for my partner? (6/15/2013 3:54:35 PM)

I was in Pier One last month and I was surprised to find some renaissance style masquerade masks. They were a decent quality and ran $20 - $40. I don't go in big for that stuff but it is rare to find good quality, so I stopped and looked through to see if a design struck my fancy enough to buy as a present for my slave.

Here is a direct link to their masks. LINK I seem to remember a larger selection in the store. In particular, they were several red & gray ones I liked.

A possible source of inspiration:

http://www.worldtribalmasks.com/

Despite their name, they seem to focus on Indonesia.
