Greco-Romanity...


This underdeveloped quickie begins a series of drawings I did of classical and neo-classical greco-roman statues I took to drawing these last few weeks. I'm not sure what drew me to them as subject matter; however, I did discover that I enjoyed the interesting plays of light and dark on the surface of marble rather than on flesh. So, I was able to get some quality time in analyzing anatomy and structural composition while also getting to look at the human form in a different way. Sounds high-falutin', don't it?
