Male life drawing models were rare in 1972 as I have explained so it was nice to get someone well-built to draw. We artists also got to draw hands and feet, something artists in practice don't always have enough drawing time to work through. This guy had been in the Coast Guard and he had "flying birds" tattoos on his chest. This one was cool before inking was everywhere. The line across the page here is the spine of the sketchbook, that's all the space I had for these drawings.
