Tattoos

8.5″ × 11″ graphite pencil drawing on paper.

Prior to creating this drawing for my book on drawing men, I had decided to not include full frontal nudes in the book. However after a few artists, I highly respect, told me that I couldn’t deprive a book on men in such a manner, I decided to drawing this friend in all his ‘glory’.

So here he is, as the drawing focuses on his tattoos.
