Just finished this morning. Took a few days and few tries. I didn't get to photo the first 'destructive' pass with the brush, since I did this at night. Everything I used is in the photo. Except for more brushes. I have a good flow with charcoal powder and brushes now. The photo I staged and shot. Lots of post in Photoshop unfortunately, I wasn't well prepared for the shoot but I got some good shots. What did you guys make over the weekend?

The main thing I learned from this master copy is how to work with values in a high key. I don't think I quite got the nuance and subtle value transitions, and my copy is a value darker from the original overall. My drawing feels a little more punchy than the original. I had a lot of fun with this copy. This is an absolutely exquisite painting and I'm surprised it's not more famous. Mars Lumograph 2B, 8B, White Stabilo CarbOthello, charcoal on Strathmore toned grey paper

I worked really hard throughout this course and had a lot of fun. It really helped me to appreciate the beauty of the human figure.

My wife got me a a phaesant seleton as a Christmas gift. It's an old display once used in a school. She got it because she knows I love to draw seletons so that's what I did, and will do many more times 😀
