Since last weeks efforts to keep me on track by posting what I do each day worked so well I decided to do it again this week. Who knows, if this keeps working for me I may even be able to start my week on a Monday like normal people instead of a Wednesday.

Because there are two different feet on the original plate I’m going to break up the drawing into two different drawings. This is my completed lay in for the foot from the top half of the plate. Of course, as I look at it know it looks like I might have made the heel a little too wide on the right side. I’ll fix it before I move on to the next step.

Bargue Plate 1.6a.1

Here’s the original series 1 plate 6a found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course. I’ve printed out the original plate as close to actual size of 18″ x 24″ as I can. You can see where I taped the letter size pages together in the original image below.
