naked ladies

i find the body infinitely interesting, not only in a sexual way, but as it is. maybe i look at the body differently than a lot of people because i like to do paintings of it, so i don't only see the sexual side of it, i see shapes and colours (and an awful lot of issues on life/death and everything in between).

i found these photos on rex venoms blog. since i started blogging, i've seen an awful lot of men who have entire blogs devoted to pictures of scantily dressed ladies. i've only once come across a blog with scantily dressed men, and that was owned by a gay guy.

i think that's a shame. it's not that i don't find photos of female bodies boring - on the contrary, i think some of the photos of ladies i've seen in men's blogs are well artsy and cool. it's just that there's a definite lack of male bodies!!

when i was in school and was getting into drawing the body, my friend tone asked me why i always drew naked girls, and not men. it was a question that made me think. it wasn't that i didn't want to draw the male body, it was more that i wasn't as sure about how to draw it as i hadn't been exposed to as much photos of naked men as of naked women.



i like the combination of fluff/lack of fluff (ok ok she's just got fluffy legwarmers, i like anything with fluff..):
ooh and i like underwater photos!!:

the body is a cool thing! and with that i pledge to find some pictures of naked men to put in this blog next. only for educational reasons, obviously.
