Inspired by a vintage photo of Scooter, a COLT Studio icon, this drawing reimagines a cocky young man seated nude on a minimal, cube-like bench — legs apart, body tense, eyes daring. Wearing nothing but a baseball cap, socks, and track shoes, he’s rendered in hyper-realistic shades of grey. His aroused body contrasts sharply with the stark white background, while the shoes and socks — drawn only in clean outline — float like abstractions. The tension between realism and absence creates an erotic dissonance, as if the figure is grounded in flesh but slipping into another visual dimension.
I couldn’t resist the urge to draw him as realistically as I possibly could — pushing the boundaries of my skill to capture both the heat and precision of that pose.
