I started rendering the tones today. It’s my favorite part of the drawing but I always forget how long it takes. This is about 2.5 hours of work. So here’s what I have so far of the series 1 plate 5 found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course.

I only had about 30 minutes today to work on series 1 plate 5 found in the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme Drawing Course book but I did manage to complete the lay in.

In an effort to keep myself on track, I’ve decided to post my progress on plate 5 as I go along. Hopefully, it will motivate me to keep drawing so I can keep posting. To that end, here’s the results of the first bit of work I’ve done on plate 5.

Also, here’s a pic of the original that I’m working from.

As the title says, it’s an anatomy study of the skull…
Well…back to the sketchbook…

I figured two things out about myself today.
- I prefer drawing with line to tone
- I have an unusual fascination with drawing guys screaming
What does that say about me?

Before I start adding new drawings (yes I’m procrastinating already) I thought I would add some drawings I did for an art class I took back in 2010.
While I appreciate compliments (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) any suggestions or criticisms are greatly appreciated.
