Description

This is my Master Study participation in the 'Master Study to Original - November Challenge' of MasterStudiesAndMore , co-hosted by Inspiring-Creation and ThatArtGrind .

The original is Manuel Eraso's "Desnudo masculino sentado y en escorzo cubriéndose el rostro" (www.europeana.eu/portal/record… . Manuel de Eraso. Complutense University Library of Madrid. CC BY-NC-ND - creativecommons.org/licenses/b… ). It is such a beautiful drawing and so perfectly executed, I thought it would be good practice for line work, including edges and surface rendering. When I saw the anatomy prompt for this challenge, it had to be this drawing.

It turns out I don't have much patience for the perfect cross hatching though : / ... I'm pretty sure I won't be including that in my original later this month ; )

Edit: updated study image on Nov 10th - I've darkened the darkest shadows as much as I could with my graphite pencils and added highlights with a white pencil. If you want to see all the study's steps, check-out the time-lapse: www.deviantart.com/ana2mars/ar… .

The highlights could use a bit more blending but this study has taken a lot of time already, so I'll probably leave it as is.

Note to Ro5ert: it was so nice that you already had something to upload on the very 1st day of the challenge to encourage us to participate : ) I thought the effort should not stay alone for long : )
