Bargue Plate: Series I, Plate 7 (part 2)
April 11, 2013 11:26 pm / Leave a comment
I hadn’t posted in a few days so I thought I would post where I’m at on the current plate. I’m struggling a bit with the rendering of the shadows on the left side of the foot. I can’t decide if it’s my technique or if I am overworking the paper itself.
Here’s the original series 1 plate 7 found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course.

Remembering how badly the last drawing progressed I made sure to spend the time necessary to get the block in right (which turns out to be about 2 hours). I’ve been looking forward to this plate. It is one of the more dynamic plates of the series.
Here’s hoping I don’t wring the life out of the drawing before I finish.

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.

I decided not to wait until Wednesday to get started on the next drawing. So here’s where I’m at so far:
I really rushed the lay in on this one and now I’m paying for it. While the right side of the drawing is ok, the left side is completely out of whack with the original. I’ll have to spend a fair amount of time to fix all that before I post part 2 tomorrow.
This is one of those times when it’s actually painful to post what I’ve done.
Here’s the original series 1 plate 6b found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course. Like last time, I’ve printed out the original plate as close to actual size of 18″ x 24″ as I can.

Here’s the final rendition of the series 1 plate 6a found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course. I can definitely see where I’m improving. I can also see where I still need to make improvements.
