The Sluggard by Rita Foster


It's been a while since I've drawn something and paid attention to the fine fine details and undulating forms of the figure. In my mind it is very rewarding to learn from the old masters. Thats why I chose to draw another of Frederic Leighton's sculptures. I just love the turning and twisting of the torso and how that affects the muscles in that general area. I'd say this drawing took me a total of about 15 hours to complete.

19.5x25.5 black&white charcoal on sand colored paper.
