Graphite Pecs

Not completely realistic... some features like the arms, eyes and mouth have been exaggerated to give it a bit more of a cartoon style. Also tried to make the shading a bit more smooth without any definite pencil lines. I enjoy leaving large parts unfinished as it adds a bit of contrast I think. Pencil on A4 paper that has been yellowed in the South African sun. The image above has been desaturated, the original is below (smaller version) but you can't really see the silvery effect of the graphite pencil properly.

Talented Boy

Damn! Wish I this started this doodle on a better piece of paper. Tried to redo it, but just can't seem to get the same line quality on normal paper. So here is the original in its unedited naked glory. Also, don't really want to get in the habit of drawing oversized dicks but the inspiration for this pencil sketch was pretty talented. Hmmm, maybe a fig leave would have been in order...

Disaster

Not sure if I can allow myself to swear on my own blog. So I am working on a few different projects at the same time, trying different techniques etc. Then disaster struck - many of my files mysteriously corrupted themselves overnight. With the new tools my projects are getting more ambitious and the files dramatically larger. Will teach me to save multiple copies in the future. Best to get back on the horse and start over again... Sigh!

Portrait

This was a test to see how I could migrate my drawing of the seated guy and give it a more painted look in Photoshop. The background is maybe a bit over the top, but it seem to work.
