Flaming ArtistThis drawing is re-drawn from a sketch in an erotic sketchbook I was keeping in 1989. It was part of a series I recently called “Bawling Out”. The original drawing appeared in either True Adult Fantasy #1 or True Adult Fantasy #2 (I forget which). I decided to redraw it for inclusion in my upcoming adults only adult erotic coloring book. I’m including both in case viewers want to draw conclusions about what a difference almost 30 years of exercising one’s craft might or might not make.
This was drawn in 1989, as part of a one-man show at the “One Way”, a gay leather bar in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States. The show was titled “Recycled Erotica”. As part of the show, I did a series of 8” x 10” pen and ink illustrations of well-known comic strip and book characters in sexual situations.
I revisited this subject matter in 1991, for a one man show at “A Different Light” bookstore in Silverlake, Los Angeles, California, United State, called “Free Art”. This time the originals were 34” x 48” inched, on full sheets of 3 ply Strathmore Art Paper.
Here are two versions of the same subject, drawn 6 years apart, the Prismacolor pencil version in 1980, and the brush-and-ink version in 1986. In the first version I hadn’t yet graduated from art college; in the second, I’d been a working professional animation storyboard artist for three years. I spent quite a bit more time on the color drawing, but had much more drawing chops for the second. They both have their relative plusses and minuses.
This is another drawing from the erotic sketchbook I kept in the mid-80’s, drawn with Prismacolor pencils on randomly tinted sheets of sketchbook paper.
This is from an erotic sketchbook I kept in the mid-80’s. The pages of the sketchbook were various colors which I used as a gray tone in some of the drawing and not in other. I drew this with two different nib-sizes of technical pen. At the time I was somewhat influenced by Robert Crumb.
This drawing falls into the “minimal simplicity” category, in that I was trying to make my point with as little detail as possible. It looks a great deal like yesterday’s drawing, was done with the same tools (light pencil, Tombo brush pens) on February 11 2017. I think it achieves slight greater simplicity than the drawing posted yesterday of the same subject.
This drawing falls into the “minimal simplicity” category, in that I was trying to make my point with as little detail as possible. I suppose I could have gone even further and left out the body hair… oh well.
It was first executed in 2002.
This is a Prismacolor Pencil sketch of the Hulk’s boner. I used black and dark gray Tombo Brush pens to sharpen it up.
This is yet another drawing of the Hulk, this time executed in Photoshop.
This is a Prismacolor Pencil sketch of my ex-lover Enrique, done from memory. I also used a medium gray Tombo Brush Pen for laying in the shadow areas, and judicious use of a Presto! Jumbo Correction Pen for the white areas. I was trying for a painterly effect; in such cases it’s useful to use paint. However, here, I didn’t want pure white (for the most part), so would draw back over it with Prismacolor.
