Beautiful form, a hint of light but just suggested enough to illuminate the curves of the body. I love it.

Mine as well
This portrait is stunning, even if I don't like this hackneyed term, this is beautiful!
Yes, the detail of the eye is surprising, the slight gloss of the skin subtle, the pose shows both strength, fortitude, but also a kind of recentering/regathering of energies, like a spring being squeezed before it is released. Your profile has a nice rounded contour which gives some inherent movement to your silouhette, like a rocking chair

I'm really happy you are developing so well, in particular with yourself, here you have reached the quality of your last chiaroscuro nude series with the handsome model (I can't remember his name)!!

Please go on Daniel!

Oh you bring me so much hope! I only hope i can continue to pull these off. I'm running out of places in my house that i can prance around nude.

Nice pose, and i like how stony your eyes turned out. Only criticism: you cut off the end of your toe. O:

You're pretty handsome. Nice body too.

It might sound weird but i kind of like it. In a way it turns the body into a big lead-in line and allows for it become a vessel for the viewer. With the toe in the image, it (or I) become much more of an object. Really its very minute of a detail, but i have had professors who love it and hate it.

haha aren't we all?

good point about the lead-in line, but i feel, in terms of my own tastes, if you wanted a lead-in it shouldn't have been something quite as minute. in that sense it looks a little more like a cropping accident. but, then again, its a lead-in that allows to see the full curvature of the foot, which has some pretty interesting lines on its own, so, eh. i disagree aesthetically, but i definitely see your point.

It's an issue that really is black or white, no pun intended, you love it or hate it.
