Cast Drawing 4

Previous blog entries:  Cast Drawing 1 – Cast Drawing 2 – Cast Drawing 3

At this week’s last Cast Drawing Atelier we reproduce a part of Michelangelo’s David (in my case, the eye) with graphite on grey paper. The other students and I didn’t have the time to complete our drawing – I’m also a little bit slower than the others, I noticed – Next week we are going to go back to the atelier to complete our work.

Eye of David, graphite on grey paper

At home I was able to fill the cast shadow in 2B pencil and then go over in HB pencil, given that the model isn’t really needed for that. It’s just filling the shape uniformly – Next week, I’m going to refine the shadows around the eye and then work on the light masses in China White pencil – I’ll post the finished artwork next week.
