Atelier work

Here’s some of the stuff i’ve been doing lately at the Atelier. I finished my third and final pencil bargue drawing and started doing one in charcoal this week.

Finished third bargue, the belvedere torso.

Some bargue figures, these are pretty fast, like 0,5 – 1,5h and they don’t have to be as accurate as the other bargue copies i’ve been doing.

Heyo! Sorry I havent posted anything for a few days, I’ve been kind of busy, was working the entire weekend and didn’t have any time to draw. But anyway, here’s my second bargue drawing completed. Took nearly a week to do it, and I’m glad its over :) Started on my third one on monday, its waaay harder, i’ll post some progress pics later.

First Bargue drawing done!

.. Well my teacher is going to take a final look at it on monday and see if something needs correcting, but should be minor things he said. And since I already picked my next one and taped it to my drawing board I’m calling this one finished :) I did however notice some things when I looked at it now, but I don’t know if they will need to be corrected in order for me to proceed, but if I must, its fine.

And btw, if you guys don’t know what it means to do bargue studies, the objective is to copy the original drawing within fractions of a millimeter, every line, shadow, form etc. should be exactly like in the original. We’re supposed to be a human copy machine using our eyes, and a plumb line (a string attached to a weight) as tools.

It looks like a really simple drawing, but its really hard (for me atleast :) ) to get it exactly like the original. Hell i’ve spent more time on this drawing than I do on most of my character of the week entries :o

Anyway, here is where I was yesterday afternoon. (sorry for the crappy quality, I took the pictures with my phone)
