Artists keen for pointers on how to draw that most indispensable of anime clothing articles, pantsu, might wish to examine artist Cauliflower’s Pixiv seminar on how best to draw them; naturally the guide might well be of interest to those who wish to learn about the finer points of pantsu creation (or indeed anyone who justs needs an excuse to scrutinise pantsu in fine detail).
A translation has been made available, as are all eight pages of the guide below…

The proper way of wearing a fundoshi, rokushaku style, is illustrated in detail in this interesting illustration. The results of botched tying are visible on the bottom left, with the correct tie visible at the bottom.
You can see other styles of fundoshi, though merely modelled by loli, in the article on the subject.
Artist ヰンジ / Yinji, presumably a lady, has some superb homoerotic illustrations to her credit, visible below:

A new book from Ichijinsha, erotically (?) named “Your Body, Your Heart, They Belong to Me”, has gone on sale this week.
Copiously illustrated with manga artwork to instruct novices in the art of bondage, particularly shibari, the book is of course available in many of Akiba’s finest stores, which have taken the opportunity to create inspired product displays, as can be seen above…

Those interested in the ancient and thrilling Japanese art of tying up ladies in erotic and uncomfortable positions will doubtless want to familiarise themselves with the contents of these helpful diagrams (the one below is seemingly something of a classic), illustrating the proper technique involved in the 亀甲 / kikkou, or “tortoise shell”, tie.

The making of an ita-keyboard, featuring the girls of Idol Master, is shown in this video. A rather unusual choice of itafication indeed…
The project took the maker 10 hours, and cost a rather modest ¥2,380.

This interesting video details one approach to making a desktop ita-PC, a PC whose moe qualities (or more likely, obsessively involved construction) induce pain in the viewer, as with an itasha. In this case, a rather tsundere Zero no Tsukaima design is opted for…
The total cost, including the case, came to about ¥13,000, and it took some 5 hours to make, with a week of preparations.
The video is basically visually self explanatory:

You may recall the earlier post on the making of this image of vocaloid Meiko, by master oppai illustrator Ino, but sadly at that time no high quality version of the image itself was to be found.
Now that one has surfaced, visible above, I’m sure you’ll be delighted to revisit the post, or rather, rewatch it below:

Supreme CG artist Ino, whose works we are hopefully all familiar with by now, has once again provided a fascinating video of himself creating an illustration from scratch, in this case of Vocaloid Meiko, one of the prototype virtual idols eventually culminating in Hatsune Miku.
That is to say, a well endowed lady in some revealing clothing.

One of the more interesting genres of video on Nico are the various videos of CG artists at work, and there are indeed quite a few of these. Here you can see some of the best, surely of great interest to CG art fans and artists alike.
The subjects for these illustrations are Hatsune Miku, Nagato Yuki and a headphone musume, so likely nobody will be disappointed (although unfortunately no ero-CG videos are possible on Nico).

The above illustration of frolicking sukumizu clad schoolgirls appeared in Dengeki Moe-Oh some months ago as part of a how-to article on drawing sukumizu, surely an essential skill for aspiring illustrators.
The creator has recently published a sukumizu illustration guide on his site, focused on the finicky business of colouring and reproducing wetness, so should you be of an artistic bent, or simply curious, you might want to check it out. Stretching to three pages, it is quite detailed.
If you are interested in this, you may also be interested to view the video of master CG artist Ino creating one of his works.
