Stupid ass.

Some doodles, mostly redraws because I was learning how to draw the characters.

Born into an aristocratic family, Adèle d’Affry, who would later go by the pseudonym Marcello, decided to become an artist at the age of 14. She wrote that she found her vocation when she saw Louis I of Bavaria’s collection of statues: “For me [art] will be a profession.” ... In 1859 she rented an apartment in Paris and taught herself by copying the masters at the Louvre. Dressed as man, she attended Professor Sappey’s anatomy classes at the Faculty of Medicine. She also studied animal drawing at the Natural History Museum with Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875), received advice from Auguste Clésinger (1814-1883) and met Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), who shared her admiration for Michelangelo.

Do they snore? Like a chainsaw.

Love from Markus, Ryder, Jude, and Marcello 😘
