    I drew this from a photo of the famous sculpture "Hercules Farnese". It turned out to be quite a task with all of the little details I needed to pay attention to but I still enjoyed the process. Like with the Antinous Bust I used the same technique o...

    Here I tried to sculpt the male back through white charcoal on dark gray paper my all time favorite! 18X24 inches...

This is a blog of a very talented artist who can create personalities out of pictures. Not all artists can do that and i enjoyed everything about the blog.

Wow - you have a rare talent. Portraits are, in my opinion, the most difficult art form and each one you have posted has so much dimension. A good portrait is much more than a likeness!
