Mmm not just any man. What a nice body. You again have done a perfect job in drawing this. Sharing, lighting, anatomy, all excellent. Wish I had a six.

    Thank you so much Nancy. We love the challenges. Just hope they have the intended impact. Your work always does.
Comment from some1sangel


initial impact is very good. i like the background as it gives the man's body dimension. you did quite well with the shading and highlights. it's a good thing he is well centered because any lower and you'd get a x rating. lol. his proportions are well done. i'm impressed with your artwork. very well done.

    We have to be careful of the positioning. Your review is delightful.

Wonderful work with just a pencil. Great shading, texture, detail, contrast, composition, sepia toning to black works well.

Linda this is outstanding work!! I cannot believe you did it with just a pencil. This is the best of the best on the whole site in my opinion and it shows how amazingly gifted you are at what you do. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing piece!

Comment from Linda Engel


No honey, not "just a man". excellent pencil work portraying the human body. very nice lines and shadows, realistic textures in his shirt, and even the veins in his hand. Great work, as usual, and awesome talent.

That is not just a man! That is what I used and still do, is one hot man! To be young again, oh well, nice to view, maybe I can have my daughter view this! No, really it has great tones, love the pose, lighting, and talent shown here. Great job!

Great job with the lines and details. Very smooth and looks so realistic. Awesome job. Subject is interesting. Tones and shading are exceptional. The detail you show with the veins, muscle, and glistening skin is perfection. Can not do any better.

Comment from RandallsArt


So that's what happened to my photo...! Really though a wonderful rendition. Your pencil work is beyond compare and I really think you're terrific. One thing though. I wouldn't have put the line, be it shadow or not, between his top left chest, his neck and the shirt.
It just seems to flatten the piece a little. Of corse that's just me...you know I hate lines. lol

Linda, this is amazing, so moving, so sexy and not dirty in anyway...I love this one! It also is so real, I would of said it was a photo that someone processed filters on it...Just an amazing talent!
