This sketch is the ninety-first in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day ninety-one: I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the result of yesterday’s drawing, though I thoroughly enjoyed studying the bronze and playing with the colors to create a sense of patina. Today, I have made a second attempt at the same bronze sculpture from the Villa of the Papyri. This time focusing on a detail of one eye, a bit of nose, and some hair. It was the hair that I really had hoped to master, but found to appear truly natural it requires a bit more patience and a steadier hand than mine. Still, I think the drawing turned out well overall.
