Serving as the seventh entry in my Men in Briefs series, Danny brought the perfect opportunity to finally add a rear view subject to the collection, as Billy had previously been the only one brave enough to show his derrière. The drawing blends a tough lacrosse player persona, an awesome physique, and a clean-cut, boyish face. One feature I always find incredibly fun to draw is a tan line. It is hard to resist showing that sudden change in skin tone, even on black and white pieces, and exploring how the local shadows and highlights are affected by that shift.
