Reddit has communities for interacting with the male form. r/ArtOfMan is one of the best. I’ve met models who know what they’re doing, how to use their unique physique, and hold a pose that speaks viril energy. A lot of my sketches and drawings come from those guys and the strong photo references they share.
Tumblr is a strange place. Curated, chaotic, somehow both. I’ve spent years there, digging through endless blogs. Every so often, I find one that stops me. The kind of reference that speaks without words.
And of course, there’s Pinterest. Always dependable. A bottomless archive of faces, poses, and bodies waiting to be studied. Perfect for someone who appreciates precision… and patterns.
Yes, I credit the models whenever they ask for it. Many choose to stay anonymous and I respect that because nude reference photos require privacy. Many references don’t include a face, also I skip tattoos or any personal marks that could identify them. Privacy is everything.
Only from commissions, when someone specifically requests it. All other sketches, made from model references, internet photos, or random sources, are not for sale and do not generate profit. They exist solely as part of my ongoing study of the male physique.
Yes, but only in private live sessions. These pieces are treated as highly valuable and unique, created for a single individual. None are displayed online unless the commissioner chooses to post them.
Not at all. I’m open to giving guidance if someone asks. I can recommend videos or YouTube channels that have taught me a lot. Ask if you want.

No, I do not create original characters. All the artwork comes from a reference, a model. If I ever decide to create original characters in the future, I will state it clearly. Until then, every piece is based on a reference. Every line comes from something real.
