Okay okay :slight_smile: Here’s a couple pencil sketches from not too long ago. The hands are my own. The face is the actor Robert Morley from “Beat the Devil.” I like to freeze a DVD frame to sketch expressions and poses.


One of my favorite still life painters is a Frenchman, Jean Chadin.

David,

Great! I knew we could shake a few drawings out of you. :slight_smile: These are cool ~ do you mean Chardin? 17th century ish? Pheasant pictures and such? Yep, he’s amazing! :slight_smile:

Thanks for posting these. :slight_smile: Feel free to post more… :wink:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

Oops, yes that “Chardin.” And also Fantin Latour. I remember seeing a show at the San Francisco Museum of Modert Art that was all about Dutch still life paintings. It was phenomenal.

David,

Why not do a master copy of one of these paintings and post it here in the Master Copies thread?

warpyy,

Keep going, on your next foot drawing, try to not have any distractions…feet are tough, and require your attention. They’re needy like that. :wink:

Hey Rebeccsa as promised I am posting a couple of pencil drawings I did today for this thread.
The funny thing is that I have not drawn with pencils for years so it was fun.

Also I am adding an ink drawing
of a place here in DC you might recognize.

nice to meet you roberto, 7k posts… impressive :slight_smile:

Rob,

I think it would be more interesting if you did drawings of organic things like trees, plants, etc…why not visit the Botanical Gardens, or sketch on the mall itself? Frankly, you yourself can model these inorganic objects far better than render them…so it would be interesting to see you approach organic subject matter (trees, people) in your traditional work.

Cheers,

~Rebeccak
