Takeshi Kaneshiro by Paul-Shanghai Takeshi Kaneshiro by Paul-Shanghai
So following on from sexy wet women,


I thought it was only right I drew a sexy wet man :) and none come more sexy (i'm told) than Takeshi Kaneshiro, shown here in an advert for Biotherm skin care for men. You may not know his name, but if you have ever watched the film 'House of the flying daggers' or seen an advert for almost any luxury brand in Asia - he was probably fronting it, one of these people whom you cant decide if you love or hate :) Fluent in a dozen languages, a gifted actor and singer all wrapped up in someone who also looks like this (as a man, it makes you sick!)

Another epic drawing taking more than 40+ hours using a fairly small range of traditional pencils, 4H, HB, 2B and 8B, erasers, and a couple of blenders. Size - 530mm X 480mm on smooth locally (unbranded) paper.

I hope you like this one as much as I do :D

As Promised you can see a short video of how this drawing was put together by clicking the thumbnail below :)

this is amazing! it's perfect for a school assignment of mine, so would it be okay if i used it? My art teacher could show me how to reference properly and you'll be fully recognised. is this okay?
