Marter Study no. 1

First of eight is complete. This was hard work! I had to pick a figure drawing done by one of the masters. I choose Michelangelo. Then after obtaining a good photocopy I was to trace the drawing's tonal values. Next I had to copy the drawing using the materials the artist used and take observational notes about what I was obseving and learning by doing this. Lastly I was to do my own drawing using what I learned from the master and in the media used by the master artist. M poor Rudy agreed to posing nude for me but I told him I wanted to do some sketching first. So, he could keep his underpants on while i sketched. But I liked this seated pose so well (at least in conte) that I decided to use it for my study. Whee...he narrowly escaped this time!

GREAT work! And how did you get such a cooperative husband???
Great work, indeed! I love this - I'm going to go break out my Leonardo notebook and do the same thing!
And Linda - c'mon - all the cool husbands are doing it...
:-D
I'm in AWE over your progress in this class!! These sketches are FANTASTIC!! You most certainly do have a very supportive hubby --
OMG, that Rudy of yours is a brave man. A brave good lookin' man, at that.
Now this is a true challenge, all significant others in undies pose please. Tell Rudy he is HOT!
Unmistakably Rudy! He looks like he's watching TV. Very nice work on your master study too. What a wonderful time you're having, Marta!
You did fantastic on Rudy. Like your the master study also.
