That looks painful i'm so not flexible i can hardly touch my toes, LOL! anyways good picture.
life drawling i remembor that class `naked chicks would come in a pose and sometimes dudes ill, i don't like drawing in charcoal much anymore and never really got the hole holding the piece of charcoal infront of your face with one eye closed thing but W/E i never understood it.

Holding the charcoal (or pencil or brush or whatever) at arms length out in front of you. You do this in order to compare the size of the subject to a length of whatever instrument it is you are holding, you use a thumb to "mark" what size the subject is on the charcoal...paintbrush...whatever. Then you bring your "measurement" up to the canvas, paper, whatever and use it as a guide.

That's an absolutely insane pose! The musculature is awesome, and I love the shading. Very cool.
I've never done a life drawing class, but it looks like it would be so much fun (and a model who could do this would be awesome!).

The legs reminds me of les triplettes de belleville... The upper arms seem a bit off, I realize it's characturized, but even relatively speaking that's a bit too thin considering the rest of teh muscles. And clearly the waist is a bit small, that's a little too much perspective... but in any case, very well done, and better than anything I could do, so yea, damn you.

I like this. The whole drawing, but especially the face, really reminds me of the art in that show "Avatar, the last Airbender" I love the toes!

Well, yeah, the anatomy has some problems...if you straightened him out he'd be too long between his rib cage and his pelvic structure. And yes, the arms are skinny in comparison to the rest of his body type...but because of the fluid lines and the energy of your drawing style, it works very well. I don't find myself looking at the anatomy because I'm too busy enjoying the overall effect. Why can't you take a life drawing class, if that's not being too nosy?

I cant imagine how much pain this dude is in.lol ASOME
