A muscular male figure bends forward in profile, rendered in charcoal and graphite with meticulous attention to anatomical form and shadow. The composition contrasts deep blacks and grays against a warm tan and cream ground, creating a classical study of the human body with a contemporary, grainy texture that emphasizes both strength and vulnerability. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
