#oldmastercopies

These are the Old Master Copies I drew on my sketchbook for Figure Drawing which were based on drawings of the Grotesque Man drawn in 1488 to 1490 and The Head if Leda which was made between 1505 to 1508, and the Head of a Young Woman for the Study of the Angel in The Virgin on The Rocks from around 1483 to 1485.

I selected Leonardo da Vinci who was a Italian artist and inventor who lived in the Italian Renaissance a period which saw the rebirth of Greco-Roman culture and philosophy in Italy that later spread throughout Europe that broke away from the Middle Ages. I drew it in graphite and used an ink pen to draw some hatching for the shadows by using light logic.
