Everyonce in a while I like to try and loosen up my painting style. I know I'm addicted to detail and tightness but I always admire folks that can do looser, more impressionist work. This pic is an attempt to work that way. Not completely successful but all the same. I do the sketch, then set myself a timer for 30mins. In that time I have to finish the pic. In this case I did it in 26min including spatter and drip time. You'll note that I still have to do the most detail on the face but I like the way the pencil and wet strokes show thorugh on the bottem of the pic.
I'm getting more and more fond of Brown Hyenas too:)

One of the best things about timing a piece is that you don't have much time to think, you just have to go and work with what you got as you go.
It's nice every now and then to try to challenge myself with a one minute pencil or charcoal sketch of something. I imagine you felt the same challenge with trying to get the most important details in those twenty six minutes. It shows what you most wanted to convey with this piece given the time restraint.

Really nice. Subject is good, pose is sexy and spectacular, and the rendering is just delightful. I hope to see more done in this kind of style. Not that I don't like your very detailed work too, because I do, but this has a wonderfully dynamic feeling to it, even though the pose is static.
What I like about this piece is perhaps the time constraint you put on yourself carried through into the picture. There's a hurriedness to it that reminds me of being on a bus and glancing out the window as I pass the entrance to a big city alley.
I see the hyena boy, my eye takes him all in, then more slowly moves up from the dark thatch of pubic hair at his intentionally half-unzipped crotch, up his white ventral stripe -- must hurry, he'll be out of sight in a few seconds – up over his stomach and chest up to his face -- and it's there that I see his eyes. That look in his eyes tells me that as casual a pose as he has struck that he's been intently watching me watch him. He’s aware of my physical interest in him, and in that embarrassing instant I feel the dominance of his personality.
Very artsy fartsy prose, I know. But what I wanted to convey was that your fast approach encourages the viewer’s eye to move quickly over the less worked areas almost as if there was a time limit to how long we could study them. Then we immediately slow down as soon as we reach the areas where you have spent more time working with the finer details. In particular his eyes.
It’s said that the soul of a person can be glimpsed through the eyes. It’s certainly can be seen in the look Rough Boy is giving us.
