Figure Studies - Bodybuilders - 2009

Since I like drawing muscles, I often study photographs of bodybuilders. It's something I've been fascinaed with since I was a child. Amazing what can be achieved with training and some chemistry these days. Most people unfamiliar with bodybilding and the extremely grotesque sport it has become these days, simply don't know what's possible.

The man is a legend. Light weight!

Dennis Wolf had one year at the Olympia when he made everyone look silly. I believe this drawing used a photo from that Olympia as a reference. Too bad it went downhill from there for the big guy.

Figure Study 2 - 2008

This is another figure study drawing done for practice in 2008, used photograph as a reference.

Figure Study 1 - 2008

This is a figure study of a model from a photograph done for practice in 2008, all digital.

Jamie Eason Figure Study

This was a digital painting made in 2007 for practice, using a photograph as a reference. Jamie Eason is a fitness model who became rather famous in the 2000s for her amazing looks and aesthetics. She's still around and looks great. I've always admired women with muscle, and this woman is aboslute perfection when it comes to appearance. Cheers!

Cowboy Pencil Drawing

Pencil drawing made in 2007, used a Marlboro ad as a reference. Believe it or not, those used to be a thing... Marlboro ads!

Ashley Graham Portrait

Portrait from a photo of Ashley Graham, actress and model. She's pretty amazing.

This was done in 2021 entirely in Photoshop. I used to do a lot more of these practice portraits in the past but I've really been slacking over the years due to ... laziness?

Redhead Practice Study

Digital painting using a reference, done in 2013.
