Da Vinci Masterstudy on Ballpoint pen

Glad to find a place for ink lovers. This is just anatomy study based on Stan's tips of trying to maintain gesture, but also an attempt to be less dependent on hatching. Done with brush an ink ( though I did use the computer to make the paper completely white).

Nice!! Where you studied that kind of mannequinization?

Great Exercise! I often do masterstudies in this approach, understanding the form concept of the artists. This one if from Titian, a quick study but valuable one. I learned perspective through Drawabox too and helped me a lot in the matter of form.

Great refs! Very helpful

Jack Faragasso has a Reilly book but it is very complicated, I know Dough Higgins also has a few books on it but have not picked it up. I recommend following Watts' teachers on Instagram, such as Erik Gist and Brian Knox they drop tidbits of Reilly Abstraction. You could also audit 1 or 2 streaming classes ($49 to audit, $210 to participate). You can also base your study schedule on the online program without actually taking it, since the online program is in phases, and the preview, it shows what you learn in those phases. Ex. in Head Phase 1 you start off by studying head layins (loomis head), then skull in 3 views, simple Asaro head 3 views, Reilly Abstraction 3 views, finally Asaro Head in 3 views.
