    Thank you jan for you lovely comment on my pic. I like your work on the casts. Nice mark making and form, I can see I have a lot to learn.

    Thank you so much, Carolina, Carlos, and Susan, for your feedback! I took a break from the cast series to work on mostly on Master Monday assignments but finally just finished the cast of the cadaver. I felt more confident in terms of accuracy and using lines to follow the form after all the Master Monday sessions. I hope that carries over to the Renaissance bust which I know will be challenging!Cadaver Cast

    This is the final cast drawing… the Pre-Renaissance Bust. I learned so much from this course. Thank you, Iliya, for the incredible instruction and fascinating commentary!Renaissance Bust

    Really nice work Jan. Your drawing is very good, and I think your rendering is almost there, but is just a little bit flat. For my money there’s not quite enough tonal distinction between the shadows and the lights. Remember that the lightest part of your shadows will always be draker than the darkest part of you lights (for an object of a given local colour). I think there are one or two areas where that relationship doesn’t hold in a couple of your drawings, or at least it’s not stated as strongly as it could be.  My feeling is that you are generally over-modelling your lights, and they’re starting to look a bit grubby. You could try carefully rollling a kneaded eraser over the light areas to light off some of the tone without destroying all that work, then going back in a refining things with a harder pencil. The potential is there to make these really lovely though.
