boys

I've never been good at drawing men. In my opinion, the "typical" (idealized?) man is all angles. And angles don't make sense to me the way the curves of ladies do. If you look at a lot of illustrators (men and women alike), they tend to draw women, too. I dunno why that is.

Lately, I've given myself the initiative of drawing more men. You're only as good as your weakest point, right? Keep practicing, keep improving.

The cool boys read. The coolest boys read books over online articles and magazines. I bet he's reading a literary classic appropriate for his age...like "1984."

Love a man in pinstripe dress pants (entire suits get bonus points). This guy always wears his work-required security badge & lanyard like a good lad. No security issues with him. He's gonna follow what The Man says until he IS The Man. And who can resist promoting a man with dimples?

If this guy was around when I was in college, I would've fell hard. He had me at the lip ring. If he has guitar-playing skills, then it's really all over. And thank god I'm NOT a tattoo artist. This also proves what I don't know about male anatomy and how hips and torsos connect...more practice needed.
