Greek busts

Greeks bust a nut

^ indeed!

and hey thank you for the kind words; i like your work a lot too.

im not mad at the teacher; more like mad at myself for not getting them right. dunno the way. i reckon it must involve endless measuring (aint doing that) and straight lines and i imagine it probably looks like many geometrical shapes before your start drawing. dunno. there is this 'receipe' that people who give exams for fine arts uni learn in the schools they go - its like classes anyone can go, since you have to pay for them.

have done a few only and they might look like the statue each time, but they are not ok. and i wouldnt mind if they arent like 'how they have to be', in order to get in uni, if i was pleased with the way i m doing them.

basically what i want with those statues, is to learn and be able to do them 'the way they have to be' and have the choice not to.
if you know what i mean.

here is one of the nudes i did last winter.
i think its ok, but i really need to find my ways with charcoal. its a medium i love. i should be at least 2-3 hours per day with it.

In my world, all Greek statues speak, with promises of gifts from Olympus, when worshipped properly.

My name is Jason, and I perpetually seek The Fleece.

i m telling you they are all about SYMMETRY!

[Rob Instigator]

the only time you will have symmetry in a drawing is if you are drawing it from directly in line with the mid-point of the symmetry, The hardest part of drawing from life, or from a statue, is learning that what you see is not what you think you see. foreshortening affects the actual view, but our brains include things or parts that are not visible but we know they are there

[Nefeli]

oh yeah i know that. but for me thats kind of the easy part. to draw what i see, not what i think i see. the most common problem for example people have, is to draw legs and feet from certain prospect. they make the foot small..

you also manage to do what you say, when you lose your mind in drawing. you know, when you lose sense of time and space.

beautifull works nef

[Nefeli]

sorry. before i meant, symmetry about the statues. not the drawings.
when you start to measure them, you see it. the distances are the same etc,


thank you gast.
