Male Art Nude 1974 Ink

Here's another view of our male art model, this time standing. He was the tall guy who barely fit onto the page. This time I switched media. I first drew him from life with very light pencil lines. Then I brought the sketch back into my studio (college dorm room) and inked it in with sepia ink. I used my flexible Pelikan Graphos drawing fountain pen which I have discussed here in earlier posts. I wanted the drawing to look like those famous old Renaissance ink drawings done in sepia tone. When the inking was done I erased the pencil lines.
