Richard is one of my favorite models. I approach illusionary drawing much like a detective; trying to solve the riddle of personality through an understanding and deciphering of the anatomical clues laid out before me.
The model for me is always specific and you would be hard pressed to find a general representation of a male or female figure in my work. When I first met Richard I noticed immediately how defined and pronounced the long and short muscles of his hands were. Sure enough it turned out that he was retired Aircraft Mechanic whose hands and forearms told the story of his life.
