agony in sexual exploration

just wanted to paint. So i picked up the wacom. a teacher of mine handed me a book of art by egon schiele. extremely graphic sexual works. very awesome stuff. it would appear that one of my biggest influences (ashley wood) has been influenced by this person. or so i would assume. look into him.

used some random porn for reference.

EDIT: after looking at the thumbnail view i decided the composition was pretty damn weak and i cropped it horizontally a bit. i think its working much better now.

painter 8 and photoshop.
