Filling the Hole in the Page




Filling the Hole in the Page


Another sketch of “ST” from a few days ago.
The pose lasted long enough for him to sort of fall back comfortably into the page.
18”x 24” charcoal

    It has a vibe, I can't stop looking...the way the body is posed, not particularly beautiful, but completely outstanding, I just stared for a bit, i was awed, I think, wow you charm me everytime Anthony

      It does have a vibe, or maybe the portrayal of a certain attitude. If not in a hole I could see him sitting in the “V” of a large tree.
      Thank you

    Charcoal is a such powerful medium...

      It takes so little time to show depth and drama compared to line..

    Yes, he does appear really comfortable...I picture a huge comfy armchair surrounding and supporting his fabulous pose.
    This is indeed an arresting pose...there is a kind of "Legendary" feel to it...for some unknown reason, I am put in mind of Native American Indians...:)

      We attempted to make him comfortable for the pose. Lots of pillows were placed on the seat covered by the blanket filling in over the hole.
      He has great features for the role you suggest. I use his images from life drawing sessions often in illustrations of warrior’s.
