I hosted a nude drawing contest. I will comment on all submitted artworks before paying out the prices. Otherwise the interest to see the works might get lost and I want to give all the great artists a great stage.
The first drawing I want to show you today is this amazing work by @tninh. You can find the post by the artist here. There is a lot of great things one can notice about this work. First of all I think the topic of the female body mirroring the male who is sitting in the front is fascinating. Yet, eventhough to me it looks like a mirror we can see the womens legs below, so it is maybe a window within a room. Very interesting perspective and the way to the floor in moving totally catches my eye whenever I look at this piece. I have already looked at all works several times... The shaddows on the skin are painted with rough brush strokes but they work very well and I like that this style is continued in the face, so we can only guess their face expressions.
This drawing of a male nude was submitted by @olaivart in this post. We can see how well this piece is worked on first sight. The shadows look very nice and hide some parts of the face just like the hand does. The character clearly is turning away from something, the light source maybe, and this creates troubles in him. That is also expressed by the way he holds his arm in front of his chest as if he has a pain in the heart. I am fascinated by that character and the nice way the muscular structure of the body is worked out.
The next nude drawing I want to show you was created by @isteemhard and shared in this post. The first interesting thing about this work, besides the good skills in the anatomic reproduction of the female shape, is the colour of the background that matches with the colouring of the nipples and eyes. I have worked out eye-nipple-analogies myself in some of my works but never had this idea. The face expression of the girl is very sensual, she opens the mouth for breathing passionatly. Also the way she presents herself shows that she knows about the effect of her nudity on the viewer. She clearly is a temptress.
This piece of art was created by @said8000. This is another great example of how artists catch body language to express something. We can see the way the girl is sitting facing in the oposite direction to the viewer that she does not feel so comfortable to be seen. Maybe she is secretly rolling a joint where we can not see it. I like the shading strokes that the artist uses. They are very wild, just like the girl which I tell by her unbrushed hair. Her eyes look down on something she does with her hands. What else could it be? Maybe she is writing a little note. We can only guess...
This drawing was created by @steemdevil and shared in this post. The interesting this about this work is that everything is worked out very basic except one eye. There is no shading involved except for the shadowing around this eye. We only have outlines and not even a hair strukture. The second eye has no shading eather. That confuses me but fascinates me at the same time. Is the other eye blind? Maybe this drawing has something to do with the way we value out seeing sence compared to other senses. I like the friendly charisma of the girl.
The last three entries I want to present to you now where submitted by @jkiw.
I choose to comment on this piece because I think it is very great. The colours are working together very well. I like that the dolphin in the background is yellow. Do we not always see dolphins in blue since they were such a popular motive in the 90s? Or is this just my memory. Anyways it is a surpricing colour for a dolphin. The girl in the front symbolizes the sea with her curvy body or simly lies on a towl on the beach. Her hair style looks a bit geisha-like. The strukture of her hair and the other dark part beneath her butt are interesting. I would love to see more details there but I am happy about the entry anyways.
You can find the post with all three drawings here.
I will show you more entries in my next post and write what I think about them. I try to pay out the prices before 2018 but there are still lots of works I need to comment on. I hope you liked this commented artworks and support the artists on steemit with your vote.
