Well, the time has finally come. I have completed my Old Master's drawing. First, for the rundown of challenges and accomplishments of this week. The assignment is officially due this Friday, but the critique is tomorrow, so I had significantly less time to work this week than I had in previous weeks. Eventually I had to come in during lunch in order to finish and mount my drawing before the critique tomorrow. However, most of the work I did this week was little changes and alterations to what I previously had. Once again, the primary areas of issue were the upper abdomen area and the shoulder/arms, and I had to repeatedly go back and make changes to the shape and shading of the area.
For how I feel about the result of my drawing, I'm having mixed feelings. When I looked at the drawing by itself and when it was mounted, I was quite proud of how it turned out and felt that the marks on the drawing were quite accurate to the original. However, now that I compare my drawing to the original, I'm feeling much more apprehensive about my success in recreating the original sketch. Looking at the two, there is an obvious difference between mine and the original. For starters, the conté crayon that I used appears to be a different color than the one used in the original. The one in the original looks to be more of a reddish color whereas mine more closely resembles a pure orange. The marks from my conté crayon also seem to be much lighter than the marks from the original. Unfortunately, this also makes the individual lines less distinguishable from each other, which I think is a distinct aspect to the original. While I think it turned out fine, I am a bit disappointed when I look at how it measures up to the original. The final image should be uploaded to my gallery soon, and I will keep updating about any further reflections.
