I don't draw from life often. As a matter of fact, I always kinda sucked at it and hated it. Too used to draw things from my head. But once in a while, there's this one, extra-complicated pose that annoys me. So I tell my boyfriend to strip down to his underpants and torture him. For art.

Trying out some new coloring tricks with this piece. Oh, the background texture is a print by the Japanese artist Hokusai.
