a figure with a book (Caserta)

 HELLO!

Recently I was working on the drawing. I treated it as a form of exercise. My main model was a photo showing one of the statues from the garden in the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy. I'm not sure who was pictured in this sculpture (I suspect it might be allegory of something associated with wisdom, or a goddess). The picture I'm talking about You will find HERE.

So, I took a pencil, a brown paper, and started drawing.

Soon afterwards I was not only using pencil but also a white crayon.

Below there is the net result of my work.

a figure with a book (Caserta), pencils and crayons (white, black) on a brown paper, 11,8 x 18 cm.

In the end I used a black crayon but only for a background. 

In retrospect, I consider this as a good exercise. It helped me significantly in focusing on what I'm doing right here and now.

That's all.

Let me know in the comments what do You think about a figure with a book (Caserta).

Have a Nice Day! 📕
