This week we had Andrew pose for us. Male models don't appear as popular because people like drawing the female form. For myself, I find men interesting in that their muscle tone are better defined. However, the ding dong at rest is still a problem to draw. Especially when you get a well-defined set as happened today. To focus on it would be pornographic, to ignore it is not realistic.
To add to this dilemma Andrew likes ropes as props which lends shades of bondage to the picture. How would I explain such a picture on my wall to my mother, for example? Hmmmm....
As you can see, I've extended my technique to include ink and wash this week. Made some attempts at capturing movement but that wasn't too successful. This next one was a pastel attempt and I really like it.
You can see my attempts to fudge the ding dong. My husband rarely looks at my art works, except when they are in front of his nose but he scrutinizes them intently when it's a male model. I don't know what he's looking for .... But it amuses me greatly!
