Firstly I am not attracted to the male form as a viewer of art or photography, but it would be very remiss of not comment on this outstanding drawing, you have drawn this perfectly, for me the skill level and patience needed is beyond my comprehension. It is superb. dave :)

Comment from Marilyn J. Brown


What a terrific piece of drawing artwork this is, Linda. You have captured the light-and-shadowplay over the muscles and the veins in the arm so well. It's a fine example of Realist art.

    Dear Marilyn, realism is my goal. Thank you for the fantastic review, and the very wonderful 6 stars.
Comment from Bretislav


I feel like a six star done, but regret none. Another piece worth more then I can give. Happy to give them all to you. I very rarely give six. But don't think a second when I see your work

Comment from snowblaze


Whatever the trainer paid, he got his money's worth! This is amazing!

Great muscle definition -- and shadow work! (Nice abs!)

I like, too, the composition of this work.

    The trainer departed shortly after receiving this picture. But that's ok. At least I had the wonderful opportunity to discover that I could draw this. Thank you so much Snow.
Comment from soulfeeder


Reminds me of the body of Bruce Lee. Amazing definitions of the muscles and very firm abs. Absolutely, drawn with utmost expertise, realistic concepts and style. Virtual SIX!

Comment from Sange


Wowzers! Impressive work Linda!
If one did not read your notes they would think this was a photograph. The muscle tone and details are amazing.
Superb realism on his wash board abs!
Beautiful work by those gifted hands of yours!
