Michelangelo 'David' mouth drawing
Hi steemians sharing with you a recent drawing from Michelangelo's 'David' sculpture. I used a pencil and charcoal for this and blended the tones with a blending stump. Done on A5 paper and took 1-2 hours to do. The key for this piece was subtlety. The lines should't be too shard and the change in tones not too harsh. Everything about it is smooth and precise.
Original source
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. David is a 5.17-metre (17.0 ft) marble statue of the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence. Michelangelo was only 26 years old in 1501, but he was already the most famous and best paid artist in his days.
“When all was finished, it cannot be denied that this work has carried off the palm from all other statues, modern or ancient, Greek or Latin; no other artwork is equal to it in any respect, with such just proportion, beauty and excellence did Michelagnolo finish it”. - Giorgio Vasari
