This book is a fine work of art, a compilation of some really amazing charcoal masterpieces (a lot of these are basically all of those things in one picture) by Erik Drudwyn. There is a small introduction in the front of the 50 page full-color book written in both English and German... other than that there are no other words in the book (except on a back page there are titles of every piece and the type of medium used to create it).

This book is exclusively women, most topless or semi-nude or in seductive pose. All of the models are incredibly beautiful women and the wardrobes are equally eye-catching.

His style is unique, he individually takes each strand of hair... and I am talking... each strand of hair... and gives it highlights and midtones and makes it look so real you can almost touch it. I was impressed with his impressions of hair than anything.

He has a couple pieces of art where he created a lens-flare type effect that I really didn't care for (and neither did my friend who saw them too) but art is subjective and I am sure others will be quite fond of it.

I see this artist going a long long way. I recommend this erotic art book for any collection. His style is promptly recognizable and a majority of the faces he creates are highly realistic and believable.

Definitely a good buy. And cheap too.

I first encountered Erik's work buying some of his earlier works from Bane gallery in San Francisco. Eric's commissioned works were among the best offered in the gallery and showed a window to his very soul. His work is very subtle and flattering to his models showing his mutual love and respect of the female form.

I have since seen works that use a variety of mediums and methods, and one of my favorites is one in which he rubbed some pink pastel on the canvas, and then with a charcoal pencil accomplished something I have never seen before... photorealism. To do this with a pencil is indicative of this artists mind-numbing talent.

Erik's eye for the little details is what sets him apart from other artists in this genre of art work. As another reviewer mentioned, Erik takes the time to perfect every aspect of a piece including each and every strand of hair. Even each individual straw of hay in one cowbow-themed work seems to have been given its own individual life.

If you are looking for work that could and should sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars for mere pennies, then this is the book, and artist for you. I can't wait to see what he puts out next.

I'm not gonna get into specific details about this book, so I'll just get to the basics. First of all his artwork is awesome. There are a few drawings which seems like he did them from memory then his usual live subject or photo. The book itself is thin. Not many pages, but like I said before, the contents are awesome. The book does not have a hard cover. It's more like a graphic novel. So if you're the type who likes to keep their books in the best condition possible, then make sure you take care of it. Overall it's solid book for art reference or the enjoyment of erotic art.

I first discovered this artist on ebay as he was selling original pieces of his art online. He has a great understanding of the medium and a good understanding of the human figure.

His photorealistic illustrations are a treat for the eye and this book showcases just a sample of what he can do with just a pencil in his hand. This is a good book to have if you're looking for great art and beautiful women.

I found myself amazed that these were drawings and not photographs. His work is incredible.

Erik Drudwyn has an incredible eye for detail, emotion, the female form and the nuances of facial expressions. Each picture in this book is unique and in some of them he adds an incredible amount of detail, contrast, color and weight where you have to look two times to see that it's not a great photograph. Other drawings are other worldly, less detailed or have a unique look that evokes something deep like good art should. This is also a bargain at the price, you can't go wrong given the quality of the pictures, their size, etc.

I purchased the book with the intentions of inspiration for a tattoo. I was very impressed with the artwork. Very realistic , has a lot of talent.
