This is a copy of one of Michelangelo's sketches, you can see that the feet are not completely, actually no where near completion. I think the object of the sketch was to design the fall of the fabric. To be able to draw the fabric in such a way that it hints at what lies beneath. Naturally the man was a genius at that sort of thing and that is why I had a bash at some of his sketches. One must also remember that in his day, drawing was not a complete art form in itself, it was merely a process one went though to be able to paint the final image. However, today the art of drawing has been recognized in it's own right, and I think that the honoree member would be the likes of Michelangelo.
