This sketch is the sixty-second in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day sixty-two: My friend Christopher posed a little challenge this morning, suggesting Egon Schiele’s “Standing Girl” in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts might make a good drawing exercise. I paged through a book of art by Schiele, thinking I’d pick a different drawing by him, but this particular one turned out to be the best. I decided to just try drawing her head. Schiele’s simplicity at first seemed daunting, but I took my time and worked out the shapes (thank God for the eraser tool). It was really enjoyable to work on. Thank you, Christopher. Great idea!
