Comment from Lance Olson
This is a beautiful piece. I like how you used the angular shapes to make up the man's body, it's really quite beautiful and very well done.

thank you= I am wishing the model held his arms down his sides, it looks as though I can't draw arms in this pose.

I like the way you created the planes of his muscular body with this technique. Your monochromatic shading is reminiscent of the cubists. I am so pleased you entered this contest and I wish you good luck.

Your welcome

Comment from karen zima
This is a creative approach to the contest. It has a Picasso feel to it with all the different shapes. The long vertical format works for this artwork. It is well presented and well painted with a uniqueness to it. Good luck in the contest.
