Billy (2002)
20×30 Pastel on Illustration Board
Original is Sold
Billy is a clean-cut, sporty kind of guy and definitely one of the boys of summer. He is a team player who really likes to play ball. This piece is number three in my Men in Briefs series, and it stands out as the only one so far done from a posterior viewpoint. Originally, the model had nothing in his right hand. I was already well into the drawing before I decided to add the baseball bat as a playful element. I am still not entirely sure where that idea came from, but now I cannot even picture the composition without it.
