This is a Classic pose for a young male figure drawing, because it shows the image of the head down to the abdomen. The young man is set up against a wall, and looking away, because he does not want to distract you. The boy is in his late teens, because his pectorals are firm, and is face is not yet fully developed.
Pencil Drawing
The drawing was started with a light pencil sketch, because I use this as a guide for my pen & ink. If you look closely you can see the pencil lines. I use a soft lead for the sketch, because this does not interfere with the pen & ink.
Pen & Ink Drawings With Prints & Scans
The pen & ink lines gently go over the pencil sketch, because this is the path for the ink. I do not trace over the pencil line, because that would limit my creative process. The shadows of the figure are made with light hatching, and cross-hatching lines, because hatch lines make a nice shade & shadow format. I have not used any bold contour line in this pen & ink drawing, because I wanted the hatched lines to carry the figure’s beauty.

As each day passes more, and more sex crimes are being committed, because of on-line hookups. Young people are meeting on-line, and hooking with strangers, because they want to get out.

I grew up in the Jackson Park Highlands, of South Shore, because it was near Lake Michigan. As a child I first leaned to swim at the South Shore Country Club, in South Shore, Chicago, because our family were members of the club. The club had a beautiful beach, because it was on the shores of Lake Michigan. Here is where I first learned to swim. When I started Grammar School, dad had us take swimming lessons at the Chicago Athletic Association in downtown Chicago, on Michigan Avenue, because dad was a member.
Pedigree
The Condren’s
My grandfather was Dr. Francis Leo Condren, a successful dentist with offices in the Pittsfield Building, in downtown Chicago. My father, James Corwin Condren, was an attorney, and owned Favor Ruhl & Watson art supply company at 10 S. Wabash Avenue, in downtown Chicago. Dad also owned the entire Silversmith’s Building at 10 S. Wabash, which housed Favor Ruhl.
The Dunn’s
My grandfather was Philip John Dunn, owner of the Dunn Coal & Oil Company, in Chicago. Beulah Clark was my grandmother, and she was a model, and beauty queen, because she was Miss Chicago in 1920. They lived in the duplex-penthouse, overlooking Lake Michigan, on Stratford & Lake Shore Drive, in Lakeview, Chicago, where my mother Beulah Mae Dunn grew up. Mom attended, and graduated from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish on Belmont. My parents were married in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

Chicago Athletic Association Junior Members
Saturday Schedule
At 9:00 AM, on Saturday mornings, we junior members would be at the pool and were given private swimming lessons, because we were there to learn how to swim. After the swimming lessons we then went up to the gym to exercise, then at 11:30 AM we went to the main dining room for lunch. The Main Dining Room was very grand because it overlooked Grant Park on Michigan Avenue. The club has since become a hotel call the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, because it is housed in the club’s building.

Below is a pen & ink drawing that I did of myself at LA Fitness, because I was working out. I swim a non-stop mile every day, because I want to live a long, and healthy life. At the end of each lap I do a somersault, and flip over resuming my swim, because it keeps my momentum going. No exercise is better for you than swimming, because it expands your lungs, and gives you more air. Your heart, brain, and lungs get more oxygen, and thus are more healthy.
Sex, Drugs, Liquor, Smoking
I have never had an STI, nor will I have any, because I do not sex-up. Drugs mean nothing to me, and I have never done drugs in my life, nor will I ever, because they are repulsive to me. I do not drink, because I am allergic to alcohol. I have never smoked in my life, because my mother warned me about smoking.
Because I Swim Everyday
I am fit, and trim, because I swim everyday. When ever I have a cut, scratch, or injury it heals quickly, because I swim every day. I run, and move quickly all day long, because I swim everyday. All day long I am never short of breath, because I swim everyday. I sleep well at night, because I swim everyday. During the day I am never tired, because I swim everyday. I always have energy, because I swim everyday.
LA Fitness
Now that I live in Lake County, Illinois, I have joined LA Fitness, because it is located in Round Lake Beach, IL. I have been a member for over two years here, and it is the greatest place to be, because they take excellent care of the facilities, and the staff is outstanding.
Photos
At the top is a photo of me just coming in from my daily swim at LA Fitness, in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, because I am ready to shower, and change. I swim a non-stop mile everyday, and do somersaults at the end of the lane so as to keep my motions continuous. LA Fitness is the best, and I am glad to have joined. The photos at the bottom are of me at the pool in LA Fitness in Round Lake Beach, IL.

In the world of gay hookups you have a vast spectrum of sexual options, because of on-line dating apps. With the advent of the Internet, and cell phone apps, gay hookups are far easier than ever, because you no longer have to go out to a gay bar and prowl. The horror, and danger in all of this, is that you are risking your very life, because the hookup scene is infested with swindle.
Pen & ink drawing of a gay bartender pouring drinks by artist Stephen F. Condren.
When you go on to Grindr or Gaydar, you will find all kinds of images of dudes wanting to hookup, because they are there, and waiting. The vast majority of these image are lies, because they are outdated or just not the person. It is safer to hookup at a gay bar, because you are at least meeting someone real. When you hookup with a stranger on-line be ready to get mugged or worse.

Above is my pencil drawing of a gay cowboy looking to hookup because his eyes are right on you, and his zipper is ajar. Is he a hustler looking for fast cash, or just newbie, because you do not know until you meet?
The best advise I have to offer is stay at home, and do not hookup, because it is dangerous. If you need sex, then go through the appropriate channels like straight people do, because that is safer. In other words, get a proper introduction from a friend, because that is safety.

Holy Spirit Clorox #510Z, pen & ink drawing with pencil sketch, by artist, and Veteran, Stephen F. Condren, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery. Prints & Scans Order Here.
The Bible is a book that looks backwards, because it is written by backward thinking people. The Bible is not the inspired word of God, because it was written by mortal men. No book has ever been written that is inspired by God, because that is a myth. A better word to use is motivator, or encourager, but not inspired, because that smacks of the Divine.
Above is my pen & ink drawing of the Holy Spirit holding a bottle of Clorox over Jesus, because He is going to bleach out the myths of the Bible. Great thinkers like Albert Schweitzer, and Rudolph Bultmann have worked very hard to come closer to the true meaning of the message of the Bible.
People that believe that the Bible is the inspired word of Go are putting themselves to a disadvantage, because they are not being objective. The Bible needs to be read like a common book, because all of the miracles need to be stripped out. These miracles were meant to enhance the authority of the writing, however, they only make it less credible, because all miracles are fables.
Approach
The most important thing to understand is your approach to the Bible, because that affects how you read it. If you approach the Bible like those from the Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy, then you have a very limited understanding of the task at hand. If you want to get a better understanding of the Bible read it for yourself, because others will have you read it in their way.

This pen & ink drawing of a gay cowboy is one of my favorites, because it has captured the spirit of the inner gay male. His eyes are covered with the crossed-hatched lines of my pen. This is a very alluring image, because you cannot see his eyes. The 10-gallon hat covering his head, and eyes, are nicely detailed with vertical hatched lines, because the lines are closely aligned.
Gay Cowboy Pen & Ink #502Z
The use of the pen & ink in this drawing is exceptionally well executed, because of the use of fine lines. The lighting is strong so, because the contrast is high in the drawing. I have used fine pen lines to capture the shading, because a thicker pen would be too blunt. He is looking up and resting his back on the wall, because he is taking in the sun.

This drawing of the gay cowboy is similar to my last one, because my focus in on his head. His persona is very difficult to capture, because I do not want to stoop down to copying photos. I demand to capture his expression, because I will not sacrifice my talent on mindless reproductions.

Above is my pencil drawing of the gay cowboy, because I want to capture his persona. The photo that I am working with is not clear, because of the soft lighting in the image. I must try, and try again until I have achieve my goal, because I will not compromise my talent.

This drawing of the gay cowboy is just his face wearing his 10-gallon hat, because it is a study from the entire torso. I have drawn this cowboy on previous posts, because I am attempting to capture his inner mystique. Even though I have done this image many times, I have difficulty with his persona, because he as a charm about him.

The drawing of this cowboy is done with contour lines, and simple cross-hatching, because these elements bring out the form. I have made the contour lines the dominant element in the drawing, because I want to focus on the body form.

Above is my rendering of the gay cowboy, because it is giving you a full view of his torso. I have cropped the image from the waste, because I can get better detail closer up. Below is my preliminary sketch of the cowboy, because this is the foundation of the finished drawing. The lines are light in the sketch, because I can use them as a guide to draft the contour lines.

Delineation is everywhere, and all pervasive, which permeates everything, because it is the rule of Nature. Galaxies are formed by the code of their patterns that stem from their core, radiating via rays that delineate their shape. The pattern of the conch shell is delineated by the pattern emitting from its core. All things boil down to the line, and when you capture the line you rule the world, for that is the rule of Nature.
Pencil Rendering For Delineation #497Z
In my rendering above of the gay shirtless cowboy you can see lines that are delineating the shading on his face, because lines hold the truth. When we look at perspective Architectural Renderings we see how the lines have delineated the pattern of the building.
Motion pictures are the substance of delineation, because they are based on the storyline. A storyline is line, which is a delineation, which in turn is a rendering! Thus, all things boil down to the all pervasive line.
