I am not going to write an extensive review this time, because everything is working so well. This is a drawing with great initial impact, and I like how the drawing is focused on the human body more than anything. It is especially the contrast between dark and light working so well in this drawing, and also the fine textures. Indeed a well crafted and lovely drawing Linda.

Hi Linda,
This is not only spectacular,you made this old gal blush!! This is an amazing study of the male torso with ripped muscles.There is always such great depth in your work I just love it. Call me a dirty ol' lady but this man looks like he is more than in repose,he has reached ultimate gratification!! Must go get my fan.It's getting a wee bit warm here! LOL!!

Again--I've said it before--my first thought was of a photograph. Such wonderful detail. I like the interesting pose. The guy obviously works out. And again "just a pencil". Either you are lying or are a superior artist. Just kidding, I know it's the latter. Thanks for this. Cheers, James.

Comment from TabooGuru


Yes, yes, yes! This work of art is more than amazing it is awesome. The texture of the skin is brought out so well with the highlights accenting the light.

I am admiring the shirt sleeve most of all because it looks like it would be very hard to present it as real as you have.

I'm a guy... what can I say... the muscles are real too.

    Your welcome, this was certainly an interesting image. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have been so busy with school I had a major term paper that was due, but it is finished with now.
Comment from Kizz


Can't believe this isn't a photo! This is an outstanding reproduction of what must have been a very attention-getting image. From the folds in the shirt, the veins in the hand and wrist, the muscular abs, to the outstanding shading, I am in Love:) Kudos!
