I love how you worked out all the shades with only the microns. Miss Gracie has done a wonderful job You managed to get some very accurate values, although I think that some of the lines look a little unsure. Like on the shoulder and perhaps the fingers. Crazy stuff though, making a whole figure like that with only the pens....haha, somehow I feel like I will try that too, now XD Your drawing sure is motivating!

Yar, the shoulders and hands were a touch and go thing... I started out the dark areas first (as is my tendency in pen) and worked into the light values slowly... and realized later I needed to correct some things in the darks... so that's what you picked up on But yar, the nature of pen... you gotta live with those mistakes...

I always look at your references and well, you have made me to look at a male nude photo gallery but I have not found the picture you used as a reference.
It is well done and it reflects a lot of feelings, sort of a sad, desperate pose.

Haha, well Juan, I'm sorry to make you blush... but well, I must learn to draw males too, not just females The pose is here if you want to see: [link]

I really love the reference, yeah. It's really emotive... it begged to be drawn!

Thanks for the link, Gracie.
I guess I still need to mature a bit about males nudes.
But I liked your drawing

Fantastic!

(and I might note a good reference choice, from my first photo shoot with artist Antoine de Villiers - see [link] , taken when I visited Indiana in June of 2005)
