I think the thing about drawing nude males erect or partially erect is that while males who view the piece may be impressed with the skill of the artist who did it, they feel uncomfortable about commenting for fear of being perceived as one who enjoys observing male genital in general. This is of course beautifully done, after all it's from Clox, That being said, I would also like to comment on the piece as a whole. I think the colors used are pleasing, the tones and shading are pure Clox genius, but lets looks at the composition for a moment... very interesting. If you look at the aspect of balance, at first you may feel that something is unbalanced, but somehow still working and I would have to say that it is because of the fact that the figure is leaning back off of his heels. Now one could assume that the figure is meant to be portrayed as falling. I say no, I say the figure is static but that a sense of balance has been maintained by the way the artist has countered the "off balance" with several elements. Firstly the hair and penis. The most obvious of the two being the penis as it is most prominent, but the hair is weighty in itself and placed such that the center of balance (hips and heels) is achieved all be it through a illusionary trickery if you will. The less obvious third element that allows this piece to work in terms of balance is the figures shadow. It almost seems to pull the whole figure in the opposite direction. I am left with the impression that the head was almost an afterthought and done with less effort than the rest of the figure. I would have liked it better without a head in that it would appear as if the figure's head was imbedded in the wall therefore further supporting the illusion of balance by subconsciously explaining how it's possible for the man's frame to support itself in such a stance.

Oh wait... nevermind.

As far as balance, I just assumed that the figure was leaning back against the wall. Balance achieved.

Awesome painting as always, Clox.

No.

the no-handed helicopter.

Beautiful drawing, but isn't this supposed to be 18+?

either way, it's pretty. :D

That was a bit short and sweet axil.I thought of phil hales work when i saw this from the thumb, the hairs simular to that of phil hales falling man.I was introduced to phil hails work when he did a portrait of tony blair.Thats the reason i dont draw naked men or penis's , in fear people may think im a stark raving homo, that and the fact i enjoy drawing women more anyway.I dont think i could muster up the enthusiasm to try for an hour to get the size shape and shade right of a penis.That being said klox's figuring and shading is awesome as always.

Axil: Thanks for your analysis. :D

Hale is big into shadows and if you check out his Johnny Badhair series, the hair will make more sense. The pose is direct from a photo reference. The piece is essentially a joke, see, his penis is guiding him, get it? "Badguide" instead of "Badhair", pretty fucking funny eh? Just don't shit yourself laughing.

Flubbles: I heard if you hold or look at your own penis, you're a homosexual. If you need to confirm this, just hit up a priest or read a Bible, I'm sure it says that somewhere, probably in the back. Although, just being any kind of artist, also makes you a homosexual. Hell, if you were born anywhere near California, you're a homosexual.

Im well away from california so i guess im ok.As gay as it makes me for liking this, it pisses me off its only got 6 comments and it was pushed off the front page so quick.And something dribbled out of someones ass gets more than 6 comments and pushes this masterpiece from the front page.

Nice reading all that. You guys are way more experieced analyzing art than I am. Hell, to me it looked like he was just trying to make his penis seem bigger in the shadow.
