I was pleased with the way these turned out overall. It was a relaxing stretch of time and the inner peace and confidence was giving me a strong sense of contentment and ease. The space I discovered within my art was enough to help me cope with whatever challenged me outside of it. I became more loose in drawing the figures, and focusing more on composition. I had spent enough time drawing these two, and it was coming too a point when the story had told what needed to be expressed for me. I accepted that although it was fun to just draw whatever came next on the paper, any proceeding piece could be the final one. Although Ideas did flower in my mind of what else could be created with these two men, I wanted to stay out of the way. I knew it would be clear to me when to stop and move onto other stories and characters. These are three of my favorite pieces in this series.
1. Body Machine # 100
2. Body Machine # 101
3. Body Machine # 102
1. Body Machine # 100, puts the muscle man on top and I really love the way his thickness was captured here. The less washes that were in my little plastic jars, the better they blended. Although I mixed more washes for later pieces, the amount of water and ink is important for various gradations. The washes that have been used, until there is less become aged and very effective in layering value
to my drawings. The washes that have just been mixed tend to begin separated on the paper, and blend
more with proceeding applications over time.
2. Body Machine # 101, is foreshortened successfully enough to display the physical features I love to draw. The protruding buttocks of the bottom, seemingly wrapped around the top is extremely arousing to view. The mood of the candlelight, that threads through much of this series is what I enjoyed most about drawing it. It unifies the most important part of the story, and that is this top male received his fulfillment of desiring a bodybuilder who he lusted after from afar.
3. Body Machine # 102, is a piece that really puts me in the actual scene, and causes the feeling of concern for the nipple that happens to be caught between a set of teeth! I hope he tells him to release, when it becomes too painful! But there are those who get a thrill out of rough nipple play. The intensity of the teeth causes alarm, and makes me want to cover my own nipples as a precaution! This piece is really a trip to me, how it turned out. I am glad it became an added addition to this series.
