This handsome young man is flexing his muscles, because he is showing off his male beauty. Male beauty is seen in the architecture of his body design for attracting females, because this is the rule of Nature.
Male Pencil Drawing
I have made good use of hatching, and cross-hatching lines, because I use them for shade, and shadows. The outer form of the body is using contour line, because this nicely delineates the body physique. It is important not to use too many hatch lines, because the drawing becomes too busy. The best drawings make use of just a few lines to express the most image, because this is good drafting.

This most excellent torso of a young man is very finely detailed, because of the numerous hatching, and cross-hatching lines. I have worked his entire torso with this fine hatch line work, because I wanted the shade, and shadows to bring out his physique. I have given a bold contour line to his body, because I want to pull his form together. Too many hatch lines can cause confusion, because they are small, and not continuous.
Male Figure Pen & Ink Drawing #324Z
The young man is looking up and away from the viewer, because it gives distance to his posture. He is very muscular, and displays his male beauty handsomely. The sun is shining on him from the left, giving us a brighter amount of light on his right side, because his left side is in shadow.

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.

With the advent of Grindr, Gaydar, and other on-line hookup apps, crime is on the rise, because there is a lot of drugs, and illegal sex taking place. 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.
Pencil Drawing
Above is my pencil drawing a young gay man that is a victim of “jail bait”, and is now paying the price behind bars, because he was not careful. If you look closely at the drawing you can see my pencil lines under the ink, because this is my guide for the ink. I have make a point to put tenderness in his eyes, because he is the victim of wrong doers.

I swim for life #515Z, self-portrait photo, and pen & ink drawing with pencil contour lines, by artist, and Veteran, Stephen F. Condren, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery. Prints & Scans Available.
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.
Pencil Rendering For
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.

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 pen & ink drawing is in two parts, because I want to show how I achieved the final product. Above is my pen & ink drawing of the cowboy, based on my pencil sketch below it. I have made this a contour drawing rather than a fine detailed rendering, because the photo that I am working from has little clarity in it. I like to use photos as prompts, and not straight-jackets. As an artist I need the freedom to express the image in terms that have meaning to me, because I do not want to replicate photos.
Gay Cowboy Pencil Drawing
Below is my sketch of the gay cowboy that I used as my foundation of the work, because I use this as a guide. This is the basement of the house, and the pen & ink is the superstructure of the work of art. Because the pencil rendering is simple, it makes it easier to draw the pen & ink, because it offers flexibility. If I were to draw the pencil sketch tightly I would be confined to that form. The ink gently flows over the pencil, because there are loose lead lines all over to work from.

This handsome youth is a wonderful display of the erotic western male, because he has his shirt off, and is giving you the look of invitation. Straight men look at this virile image of a proud gay youth with envy, because they know inside that they want to be like him. This is essentially a simple contour line drawing, with minimal shade, and shadows, because of the bold outline.
Shirtless Gay Cowboy #464Z Pencil Drawing
Below is my preliminary pencil sketch of the cowboy, because I wanted this to be a nice loose study. My intention for the drawing was for sheer pleasure. I had no intention of doing a precise rendering, with all the perfect lines, and shadows, because I just wanted to relax. Just the follow of the ink from the pen on to the paper was the exercise that I need at this hour.

The greatest gift that you can ever give to anyone, and it is free, is a proper introduction. A proper introduction is the most important thing that you can offer anyone, because it gives the gift of safety. When you offer to introduce someone that you personally know to a person that your friend does not know, but that you know, is offering both your friend, and the person that you are introducing him to confidence, and safety. For your friend is relying upon your good name, and your steadfastness to expose him to a stranger, because this is sound.
It is never wise to meet a stranger on your own and strike up a conversation, for that can lead to peril. That is why you have so many crimes committed today, because people go to bars, and nightclubs to meet people that they do not know, and end up in trouble. God forbid even worse, hooking up online with Internet dating services, this is danger at all levels, because you have not been introduced.

Above is my pen & ink drawing of Presidents Enrique Pena Nieto, (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau, and Barack Obama, being properly introduced to each other, because they do not know each other. Could there be anything safer? No. A proper introduction is the best policy above all, because it gives safety, and it is free.
