Studying Men at 33

Reticence

After immersing myself in a hot tub for the past months, I decided to take up another goal in my figure drawing. This time, I am going to learn how to draw a male figure. I have started doing this in small scale last Christmas. It was only recently that I found the time to make one in a  bigger scale. 

The image above is an example of a figure study. Artists used this to learn techniques on how to draw and paint  human figures. This is usually done with a live model and preferably, nude. However, as I am not yet confident to draw a live male model, I decided to use images from books as references. Once I have gained mastery, I could ask someone to pose for me. 

Just like the previous art pieces I made, your suggestions and constructive criticisms are very much welcome and appreciated. Kindly leave them in the Comment section below. Don't be shy! :)
