About a month ago, we were assigned the project of copying an Old Master Drawing. However, though the project is well under way by now, I have not gotten around to making an introduction to the project until now. Without further ado: project introduction! Our project involves choosing a figure drawing done by an Old Master (the figure had to be human, and while it was not required to have a full figure, it was strongly recommended) and copying it mark-for-mark. The medium we were allowed was the medium in which our chosen Old Master drawing was drawn, be it silverpoint, charcoal, pen & ink, chalk pastel, or Conté crayon (mine!). We were to make a base drawing in pencil with only outlines and basic details of the original drawing, tone the paper with watercolor, and then add the necessary medium to finish. Since this post is very late, I have already drawn the base and toned my paper, and all that is left to do is add Conté crayon and make weekly progress posts.
