Comment from Swank Photography
I love drawings like this.

The lines are clear, sharp and well defined.

Light and shadows work very well together here.

james,

Cheers, Bro!

did the answer on the black help with your problem?

reply by jesuel on 16-Oct-2009

for some reason nudity isnt very popular here but you and i both know that the real fine art world doesnt look at it as perverted its just a matter of buisness for fine artists yes the black certainly helped i found this stuff called moreager you mix it with your ivory black and it gives an aged appearence problem is that stuff is like 35 bucks a tube

reply by the author on 16-Oct-2009

wow, even for a working stiff like me that's a lot of chump change. but I bet you use very little and it goes along way, yes?
Are you try to bring richness and depth to the black? What if you mix it in a carrier and then made it some waht transparent and the applied several coats, being sure each previous coat dries first. would that not add depth and richness both? oh and i would use a mixing of my primary colors to create the first, base, coat of black, know what i mean?
take care and have fun. (let me know how it turns out.)
Cheers!

Comment from cmyers
This is great with such good form, lines, presentation, creativity, effects and impact, too. Ilike the pencil drawing and the details of the muscles and bones...very good.

Comment from TimeSnatcher
Very well done Lucien. Great lines, and use of shadow. I'm not so sure I care for the dark outline you did around the whole figure, I find it distracting from your fine work, but that's just me. Overall very realistic and a five star for sure.

Comment from Figureman
The torso, hips and genitalia are very good and I see that you wisely left the hand out of view. A pleasing picture that shows good technique and an understanding of the human form.

figureman,
thank you fro the time and the nice comments in the review, the human form is a very difficult form to both shoot and draw, beacuse we are all so familiar with it and have certain expectations of what it should be and show, especially in the US. anyway thanks and have a great day, Cheers!
