Micheleangelo drawing

This is a personalized copy of one of Michelangelo's drawings. At the time of him doing it, naturally there was no colour background. Hope you like it.

Michelangelo

This image to copy was very enjoyable. The original by Michelangelo was done with red chalk, so one of these days I will have to get some and have a go at it.

Rubens again

Once again a copy of Rubens work. I did not think I gave him justice with this drawing, the face is not very much like the original. Probably will have another go at this image in the future. Anyway, I suppose that, not everything that an artist does is always good, not that I'm saying my work is good. What I meant was, I was not entirely happy with this attempt, as I was with some of the others, but then I'm never totally happy with anything that I do. When I look at the result the next day, I always see room for improvement, its like an addition, I'm always looking for the perfect result or "High"

Michelangelo

Once again, my copy and interpretation of one of Michelangelo's works. Thanks to the great master of art for his contribution to the world. I used graphite and dry pastels on recycled paper.

This is a copy of one of the works of Albrecht Dürer. I did this with graphite and chalk on recycled paper. Yesterday I read something that I thought was very interesting. A lot of people post on the internet, various philosophies on how to live your life that are very cheesy. But one appealed to me for a change. It was: Life is like a piano, there are black and white keys that represent the bad times and the good times respectively. But taking that idea a little further: It depends on how and who plays that piano, that produces a wonderful or disasters tune. Those that practice playing will eventually play life well, and those that shy away from playing will bang out a bad tune. Do you practice your piano/life so your family, friends and you hear a tune that is beautiful and worth while listening to?

Raffeallo

This is another drawing of Raffaello Sanzio that I copied, but unfortunately I did not have the whole image to copy. If anyone has a copy of the complete drawing please let me know.

Raffaello

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino born April 6 or March 28, 1483 and died April 6, 1520, better known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. Although this image might not be known by many, at least the name Raffeal hopefully would be.

Peter Paul Rubens - Child

Once again, another drawing copied from the oeuvre of Rubens. Setting myself the goal of copying a drawing of one of the old masters is starting to take its toll. But I will not give up, Soon I will start doing some copies of some of my other mentors. Michelangelo and Durer. Found another great artist on the net yesterday: Adonna Khare. Have a look at here webpage: http://www.adonnak.com

Rubens

This copy is another drawing by Rubens. I'm coming up to 2 weeks of drawings and have been stuck by the enormity of my project and the flaws. If I have to do a drawing per day for year, what will happen if I fall sick or want to go on leave, or worse: a internet connection failure? Well I'll just have to tyry and solve those problems as they arise.

Woman with towel (Rubens)

This artist is without a doubt one of my favorite artists: Rubens. Rubens was born 28 June 1577 in Siegen, Germany, to Jan Rubens and Maria Pypelincks. In copying this image I hope I have done justice to one of the most gifted artist the world has ever seen.
