Summer - Pieter Bruegel

Every artist has what he considers to be the best drawing he/she has done, and this one, to date, I think is my best. It is a copy a section of Pieter Bruegel drawing called "Summer". Originally it was done with pen and brown ink, but I coloured a few sections with some pencils. What do you think about the man´s shorts, they were designed with a ball-bag? Imagine if you saw someone today wearing pants like that?

Michelangelo copy and interpretation

A copy of none other than Michelangelo' work, with a blue pencil background. At least this drawing was better than yesterday's.

Copy & alteration

When Michelangelo drew this originally he did not pencil in the background with a coloured pencil, or what?

Copy of Copies - A Dürer

I hate to admit it, but this is not one of my favorites, I do not think that it was one of my best. Drawing done with normal pencil and coloured pencils . But all haul, Albrecht Dürer.

Copy Michelangelo again

This take on one of Michelangel´s work is taken from a drawing he did of Cleopatra. He made many similar drawings of the woman with accessories such as head dressing and scarves. Most of the drawings were done with proportions of the ideal beauty of Venice of that time. The original (there are many that dispute the originality of this piece) was done with black chalk.

Copy Michelangelo

Once again this is a copy of Michelangelo's work. I wonder if I always have to say that these drawings are a copy? Besides this being a copy there is the added colour done with pastels. Hope you are having a very pleasant day!

Michelangelo - Another of his great works

Oh no, not again - another drawing from the master Michelangelo! Yes it is a copy done with graphite on recycled paper. Doubt very much if they had recycled paper in those days. Probably paper in those days was a precious commodity.

Another day, another drawing

Doing a drawing a day from the masters is not all that easy, especially when each of them have their own technique. The type of drawing that I find most difficult to do are those that have been done with red chalk, a type of dry pastel. So I thought that conté would work well, only to discover that it is a pretty unforgiving medium. Once you have made a mark with it, it leaves a permanent mark on the paper, not like graphite or vine charcoal. But, the results are very striking provided that you got the drawing correct.

The master Michelangelo

Yes, this is anther copy of one of the great master´s oeuvre. The word oeuvre: the works of a writer, painter, or the like, taken as a whole. The origin being french. But it is a word that I have not been able to pronounce.

Faith

Oh ye with little faith, thought I would not be able to get one drawing out today! Well, I'm glad to prove you wrong, after a very difficult day I still managed to churn one out, so how about that. I promised one per day for a year and I will do my best to copy a master.
