Comment from EAPhoto


This is a nice sketch of the human form. I think you could have added a bit more depth and detail to this, however, you did a nice job on representing your subject.

Another great anatomy lesson for us. Good job on the shadowing of the muscles and showing how the body reacts to stretching. Good show.

Comment from Paulisa


Excellent work. I like the short strokes, they really give energy to the piece. Good shading all around. I like the mirrored image in the background. Good detail and proportion.
Thank you for sharing this study in drawing the human body. I'm working on improving my skills in that area.

Comment from Roger Hilleboe


Good study Lucien. A few more shadows and a few less lines would make it even stronger by giving it more volume. Nice work on the neck. Seems a bit rushed but that was probably your intent.

    it is a drawing done of model, having them hold a pose like this is difficult, so yes you are a time restrant, but in there lies the challange, appreciated the review. take care and cheers!

Though not an artist myself have love reviewing your work, its like having a masterclass.

Love the way you pay so much attention to detail and redraw to ensure it is correct.

Thanks for sharing this, bet there are loads of artists learning a great deal from you, Mark

Comment from tuckerkao


Very good shading processing applied to the portrait of the man with the nude body turn-outs. The line strokes drew in smoothly with the proper lighting.

Comment from AlissaAnn


I like the use of short strokes in this, it really helps define the muscles and contours.
The body is a hard thing to draw and I think you did a good job with this.
