The Body Machine series no. 61 - 65

 This was a set of the series I fairly enjoyed drawing. Some of the pieces involve my experimenting more with ballpoint pen ink for shading effects. It gave a textural appearance also. The perspectives were the most interesting to draw of the two figures. There was no assurance of how they would turn out, like the rest of these drawings. Accepting the results as they were, actually was one of the most exciting experiences of this whole series.

1. Body Machine # 61, turned out to be satisfactory for me creatively. I liked how the two figures connected in this composition. My point is expressed very directly, and continues the erotic flow of the series, with various positions. 

2. Body Machine # 62, was an experimental pose with the way he squats over the other man. Here I used the ballpoint pen to apply shading over the wash, as I liked the effect it produced. Unaware of the outcome, I can say it did not turn out too bad. It is a solid drawing overall, in a slightly surreal sense. 

3. Body Machine # 63, is a stronger piece, in terms of perspective and proportion. I like this scene, as the bed ties into the composition. I really enjoy drawing beds, the more I create them. The intimacy and design of a bed describes personality and mood to me. The candle compliments the sensuality of the moment.

4. Body Machine # 64, is one of my favorites in this series. The facial expression is poetic and sensuous. The way I captured the enraptured gaze and his mouth, pleases me. 

5. Body Machine # 65, is another one of my personal favorites. I love how the perspective and proportion turned out. I remember sketching this, and trying to make each line and curve count, without over doing it. I tend to feel a sense of nervousness when drawing on pure impulse like this. Often if it has to be drawn again in this method it will be completely different! I did not want to lose the particular spirit I felt, while fleshing this one out. The action displayed in his legs and feet, creates a motion to me, that could not be repeated, if improvised.
