15/10/10/5 minute poses of our new model today at life drawing! he was a lot of fun, different physique than we're used to. i was proud of the terminator shadow on that arm! i just wish i could layer darker graphite on this newsprint, it doesnt catch well

i was asked to do something different and uncomfortable that i wouldnt know how to do today so i used some watercolor brushes with this beefcake sun worshipper! i quite like the fluffiness of the hair at least. also including the undersketch
