6 Pack Torso

About this Artwork

This 'perfect', 3D, detailed pencil drawing of the male Torso has the physique of an Adonis! Nobody is born with a physique like this, it requires hard work and dedication! But why do men feel under 'social' pressure to present themselves like this 'ideal'?

Here's what the model for this drawing had to say!

"Being a man these days seems, well, an awful lot like being a woman. For men, more than ever, looks count. In Vogue and Men's Health alike, modern-day Adonises sell everything from protein powder to Armani cologne. They've got washboard abs, silky skin, nipples so erect they cast shadows. The male torso reigns as the decade's most powerful "crossover image" (appealing to men, women, gays, and straights alike..."

"It's kind of sad, but sometimes I see a guy on TV who's 'fit'f and if I haven't been working out, I think, Wow! I better get back to the gym!

If this is gender equality, then the turning of the tables is not without a surprising, and potentially harmful, set of side effects. As men become more body-conscious, and as advertisers become more shameless about objectifying the male physique, men are acquiring problems formerly associated with women: eating disorders, body obsessions, low physical self-esteem. One body-image study found that 45 percent of men were dissatisfied with their physiques; women were only slightly less satisfied at 55 percent.

Be that as it may, you can get an A3 print of this 'torso' to hang on your wall... In your office or at home if you're 'allowed' to put it there!!!!

But, if you'd prefer to own the actual drawing then it's available for £75 inclusive of P&P to anywhere... I am available for commissions and can draw your very own 'torso' if you'd prefer.. It costs less than you think!
