Fear Of Death

Terror

The greatest of all fears to the living is death, because we all know that it is coming. However, I am cheerful about all of this, because there is no need to fear. For when you die life is over, because you are no longer living. Thus, you have nothing to fear.

Pen & Ink #471Z

The brutal truth to the matter is not dying at all, but rather how you die, because that is unknown, and is terror. Thus, the greatest fear is that of suffering, torment, and pain, not death, because you cannot feel pain in death. However, you can be quite alive, and feel the unrelenting pain of fire burning at your feet from the torches of those who hate you. The pain of fire for most is the greatest of all fears, for it is an unfathomable agony.

Stress Vs. Challenge

For A Better Life

Stress is a killer, and you must do all the you can do to stop it, because it will kill you. There are all kinds of stresses, and all of the are killers. It is most important that you harness control of your life, and get stress out.

People confuse stress with challenge, because they seem similar. However, stress and challenge are totally different. Stress is debilitating, whereas as challenge is enriching.

Pen & Ink #473Z

I have heard people say that “I need the hard preaching” because they feel like they are sinful, and so a harsh and negative sermon on how sinful you are is the motivator! This is total insanity. Rather than take a beating from the pastor on sin, do something constructive with your time to take your mind off of your problem.

There is no easy answer, however, there is no reason to embrace stress, because stress only brings you down. A game of chess is a great example of challenge, because it is positive. Even if you lose the game of chess, you are a winner, because you have learned more about the game.

Gay Cowboy Drawing

Rugged Herdsman

This is the finish drawing from the previous sketch on Post #487Z, because this is a study. This drawing has contour lines that clearly define the subject, because delineation brings out character.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #488Z

This drawing is based on the sketch of the post mentioned above, because that was the foundation drawing. This drawing is the capturing of the image of the subject, because it remains unclear until delineated. I have made good use of the shade, and shadows, because this marks clarity in the body physique. The shading is high contrast in nature, because there is no soft change of tone.

Gay Cowboy Sketch

Man On The Move

This rugged cowboy is older, because he is in his thirties. This hot cowboy is wearing mud flaps on his jeans, because it shows him working on the field. He is carrying a stirrup, because it is pulled over his shoulder. The shadows on his body cover his face, because of the sized of his hat.

Clothing

The 10-galllon hat is almost storeroom perfect, because it is perfectly curved on each side. The hat is perfectly set on his head, because it is even on side to side. The shape of his hat is proportionate to his head, because it tapers evenly at the center.

Shirtless

This rugged gay cowboy is shirtless and with pride shows his beautiful chest, because his pectorals are well shaped. Because he is good looking, he has taken off his shirt. He is a hot shirtless cowboy, because they bring out the essence of manhood. He is walking quietly, because his mouth is closed. This cowboy is focused on his job, because he is not looking at you. This drawing is good, because I use few lines to capture the image.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #487Z

The cowboy is wearing his 10-gallon hat with pride, as it covers his forehead. He has a strong look on his face, because his expression is firm. He is waling right at us, because we are in front of him. There are no contour lines, because the drawing is not done. Contour lines are employed at the end of the drawing, because they are the finishing detail.

Physique

Adding to his masculine persona, is his chiseled torso, which look like it was carved by Michelangelo, because it makes him look like the statue of David. His physique is perfect, because he works outside.

Gay Cowboy Drawing

Beautiful Male

This beautiful young man is looking right at you, because he wants you! Can you turn him down? This fun, and relaxed sketch of a handsome gay cowboy is one of many that I have been working on, because I enjoy the western theme, and love and respect all gay men.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #486Z

The drawing is quick and casual, as is the pose of the cowboy, because it is a light hearted scene. There is a smile on his face, and a cheerfully look in his eyes, because he sees you! I have kept the details to a minimum so that I could focus on the contour of his face. It is easy to loose the beauty of this young with adding too many line, because the line cause confusion.

Gay Cowboy Pen & Ink Drawing

Rugged Herdsman

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.

Gay Cowboy Drawing

Cowboy Portrait

This is a pencil drawing of a young gay cowboy looking for action, because he is ready to play. This is a common theme in the hookup scene, because it offers the thrill of the unknown. The eyes in the shadows give away this message, because he is looking right at you. The shading adds a bit of mystery, like that of Scheherazade, because he wants to keep you in his spell.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #480Z

The rendering of the drawing doew not reproduce as well as I would like, because the scanning exaggerates the darkness of the lines. In reality, the drawing is lighter, because I have not used strong lines.

Gay Cowboy Portrait

Dandy Boy

This handsome young cowboy is happy to see you, because he has a surprise for you. Now it is up to you to see what that surprise is, because you are looking at him! This is the portrait of a young gay cowboy that is in shadow, because his hat is blocking his face. I have made use of cross-hatching to make the shade and shadows, because they are more precise. This comes from my training as a draftsman in my youth, using a T-Square, and ruler.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #479Z

The lines in the drawing are stronger with a bolder contour than the earlier drawings. I wanted to focus more on the detail of his face. This image is softer revealing more of his light hearted character, which pours through the lead pencil image.

Gay Cowboy Drawing

Sexy Herdsman

This drawing is the completion of Post #476Z, and the last of this series, because the rendering is finished. This very handsome, and sexy cowboy is all that you can ask for in a beautiful male, because he is proportioned handsomely. The most pleasing things to me with this fine young cowboy are his beautiful face, and fabulous pectorals. The architecture of his chest is exquisite, and a joy to look at. One could easily look at his pectorals for hours, as I have done with this drawing, because they are so beautiful.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #477Z

This final phase of the drawing has made emphasis of the contour lines, and shading, because these elements bring out the perspective of his figure. I was playing with the idea of shading the background to compliment the tones on his body, because he looks so rugged.

Gay Cowboy Drawing

Erotic Herdsman

In this third phase, I am getting closer to completion, because there are four phases to the series. As you can see I have added more shadowing to the figure, because I wanted to bring out his physique.

Gay Cowboy Drawing #476Z

It is not my intent to replicate images, and photos, for that is slavery, because there is no creativity in that process. Rather, I like to abstract my interpretation of the image before me, be it a real model, a photo, or an image from TV, because I can telling my side of the story of the image. Always remember that TV, and movies are just drawings, because they all are based on the story line. A story line is a delineation, thus a rendering, with is a drawing. Therefore all thing boil down to drawings. My Post #477Z is the last, and final phase of the rendering.
