In Process: "Running Cast" drawing exercise by Sandra Galda

Here is today's work on the running cast project.  More to do on this one, I am learning lots!  I stand on a taped on "X" on the floor and wear a dedicated pair of shoes that stay in the studio so I can stand in the exact spot and exact height, stare at the cast, then walk up to the paper and draw.  Repeat almost endlessly,try to reprduce image perfectly......  If interested in purchasing any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.

"finished" Beethoven

Studio cast bust drawing "finished" by Sandra Galda

18x24 inches approx.  charcoal on Canson paper

When I say "finished"  what I mean is-- in the studio lessons I am taking this is as far as I am going to go with this cast bust exercise...I have learned lots in the area of duplicating what I see as exactly as possible.   I am starting a new drawing now and hope to be learning even more in the way of drawing what I see!

exercise in cast bust drawing

 

Cast Bust exercise by Sandra Galda

18"x24" approx. charcoal on Canson paper

Above is the end product of an exercise in cast bust drawing. On the top is the drawing before I took it home to spray. Below is the drawing under better lighting and after some adjustments after a little too much wind on the thing on the way home! Charcoal is a messy medium to work with. I will start another cast bust soon. The exercise of getting an image relationally accurate in your drawing helps you to SEE better. Below is the set up at the studio, so you can see how I must work from a distance, then walk up to the paper and draw what I see, then repeat the process...over and over again.
