I have to admit that I’m pretty disappointed with how this turned out. And it all goes back to the initial block in that I rushed through. After making correction after correction after correction I finally decided to call it “finished” just so I can move on and learn from the mistake.
Here’s the original series 1 plate 6b found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course.
As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi Murat,
Charles Bargue was an artist in the 1800s. He created a drawing course that used a series of plates to be used by art students to improve their drawing skills. The plates start relatively simple and get progressively more difficult.
