Cutouts Series 6

I thought of a kind of Greek vase style drawing but this closeup looks like it's copying another artist, so I'll leave this as an experiment.

Cutouts Series 5

I spent a little time refining that penis, lol

Cutouts Series 4

Experimenting now, but wondering if doing multi colors like this apes someone else's artwork more than it should?

Cutouts Series 3

I thought I'd do some push and pull with scales and views and do some kissers.

Cutouts Series 2

I didn't like the pink guy's body, I wanted more of a stocky muscle daddy so I redrew him, even the parts that wouldn't be seen. Well, I wonder sometimes if you can call it drawing since it feels like carving, as I use the lasso tool in Photoshop, to make these shapes.

Cutouts Series

This whole current (and currently waning) style of drawing that is reminiscent of Mattise's cutouts has mad very simple popular art ubiquitous when a store wants to look "millennial". One such nail salon near me on my street (in the former nutrition store manned by my friend and one time model Scott) Has a very simple framed piece with a pink, snake-like shape in the center. I always wanted to try my hand at that style because it would be too easy, and I never had an idea of how. This popped into my head and quickly on to my digital canvas, and I think it's too easy not to do a series.

Stand and Look Hot 3

I'm not actually sure how to make this guy look more interesting.

Stand and Look Hot 2

  

You know, he looks more Ltin American to me now...

Stand and Look Hot

Basically that's the theme of all my homoerotic drawings lately, but I try to change things up. I'm gonna try and make him Asian.

Paper Dolling 3

I was trying to make newer outfits for this model I distribute to teh kids to map patterns on to in class. She's a Demo Girl, but I feel like I should name her.

New Croquis 2

Trying to refine the pose but not sure if I'm just repeating the old pose I have in my head...

Walker 3/4

I love walking poses because you have a dynamic showing of both the body as well as an emphasis on pants/legs. I usually do a side view but this is another favorite angle, and I always struggle to get it right because the arms swing in opposition to their opposite leg.

These drawings were actually done after the fact, retroactively. My computer was having shut-down issues wouldn't start up and I had to go the entire weekend with it in the shop. Yesterday when I was working on the croquis, I had a few more realized versions that got lost without getting backed up so starting from here until Monday are all retro-fitted sketches.

New Croquis

I've been wanting to develop a newer croquis style for myself, as I feel like I'm just reacting to everyone else and the school, but not really doing my own art like when I've got more time. I thought maybe something with more movement, but I realize, hah, I've done this exact same pose before, and almost a decade ago...

Standalone, Rescaled

I published my sketch as it was yesterday, but after seeing it in Instagram's layout I resized and jiggered the head and feet—I have a tendency to draw big feet, I dunno why...although I have to fight to not make my hands too small, haha. They're errrry subtle changes but something I needed to do for my own perfectionist peace of mind. Too bad I can't change it on Insta without losing the previous post.

Standalone 4

I decided to just do the kind of guy I normally do instead of trying someone new—so in the vein of Kiko Henriques, or some hot guy with cirly hair. I thought I did the body well, but I have my doubts about his feet—are they a bit too big?

Standalone 3

This new brush is inspiring a new way to draw, but I haven't gotten my bearings with it yet. It does a color variation thing that i wasn't expecting, and I have yet to find my way with that technique. Like, I'm not loving this man's face since I'm doing a heavy shadow technique because of this brush, so I need to test it out more...
