Hi Lucien

That is some stretch alright. I can hear the sinews straining against their fixings! Another intriguing entry into the contest and I hope you do wrll. All the best. R

Very interesting. The large muscle groups are portrayed nicely. It does appear as though the model is pigeon toed. Maybe the way she is stretching was part of the stance. I like the added colors that you made. I give it something extra. Good luck in the contest.

    It was just the way she was posed.

This is lovely. The stance of the model is so interesting. The definition of muscles is wonderful and I love the hand in the far side just showing. Well done

Cool sketch penmaster. The body form and language is excellent. The details is great. The depth is great. The creation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative and awesome work overall

The human body is a beautiful thing and I often disagree when labeled as offensive or pornographic. This work is quite nice with no sexual innuendos that i can see. Great job.

Comment from Brenda Curley


This is a good composition of a figure.
The flow of the lines are good and the rhythm of the body adds energy. The figure
shows great physical strength. I like the color in the background and the picture. Nice drawing.

    Thank you for your time and kind words in your review, your time in doing so are appreciated. Yes, what I, as an artist, always want to achieve, having the flow, direction of the lines add energy to my drawing.

    Take care and have a good weekend.

Comment from iPhone7


Very nice work here Lucien. I am always amazed at how artists like you can use so few lines so effectively to create a form that seems so complete.

The pose is great for showing human form. I think the coloring added a nice dimension to this drawing.

Best of fortune in the contest Lucien ~ Steve

This is a scratch from which the reviewers can learn how to draw a human body accurately. Even as most humans have not ideal bodies, their muscles and skeletons work similar. This is best shown on a naked body in an unusual pose like a yoga stretch. Your drawing shows all this.
