This sketch is the one hundred and nineteenth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day one hundred and nineteen: Today’s sketch is based on a detail of a marble sculpture at the Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen of Perseus. It was made by Laurent-Honoré Marqueste (1848-1920) in 1903. My sketch is a bit clunky, compared to the classical modeling of the original. I enjoyed exploring the ways in which I can use lines and cross hatches to create both shape and degrees of shadow. More practice is needed in this area, but for me this is a big step toward better draftsmanship. I attribute the growing awareness to my ongoing study of the graphic arts.
