I was told in college that it's important to draw from sculptures by the great masters and I completely agree. It is somehow so much easier to study planes of the face this way. I plan on drawing some full body sculpture drawings soon when I have time that is, The beard on this one took a while! 12 hours total I think. I drew this from a photo of "Hercules and Cacus", a sculpture done by Bartolommeo Baninelli 1543. I would have drawn from life if I had the chance but this ones in Florence Italy, top of the list of places I want to travel to.
