Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.
Looks like you tried to copy a painting, which is difficult to do. And is a good challenge for drawing. I think the style and feel of the master and study go hand-in-hand. Have you considered buying smudging sticks to try and blend the graphite more? Or perhaps you could try it with charcoal in order to achieve darker and lighter values.
The master artist seems to exaggerate the lights and darks on his figures. I think that if you utilized this technique in your piece it would make your study look more like the artist's aesthetic.
I think you really captured the style of your master copy. But I think if your master study had a more center-focused composition it would tie in better to the master copy, in which the page is almost completely filled.
The style on your master copy is very similar to that of the master study, which I enjoy. I like your use of line work and shading on these two images.
I really enjoyed your two works as a whole, the only thing that I would suggest working on would be the use of more subtle highlights and mid tones. Otherwise it's awesome!
Your master copy is excellent especially since it was originally in color. You really captured the shadows within the shadows which adds realism and depth. Your original was very successful, but maybe the negative space of the wall could have used more of those shadows.
I think you matched your artists style really well. The only think I would suggest is to either center the figure on the page more of add something to the negative space on the wall.
The use of darks and lights helped in making these two as a set. I thought that drawing male figure compared to the female figures in the copy is what really made your original piece stand out. You were successful in making the two as a set.
I think you did a great job! I dont have an comments of improvement, because I am satisfied with looking at these two images. you did such a great job!
You did a really good job of getting the subtle nuances that relate to the master artist's style. I think you also chose a very difficult composition/model position by facing him towards the picture plane, but you handled the foreshortening very well and really made the drawing work. I think punching the contrast by adding charcoal to make the darks and midtones a little darker would really help these two pieces stand out, but otherwise these are great!
I think these two are stylistically very close. I like the attention to detail used when studying the master work and transferring the type of blocking Perlstein uses, such as cut off heads, and such. For the original work, there seems to be more delicate shading where Perlstein tends to shade in very defined bands. (I only noticed this because I had to do a study of one of his works in Drawing I, and yours is so much better than mine.)
These two pieces could easily work together. I love the shadows in both of your pieces. They are done very well. They are bold but subtle at the same time which looks amazing.
Your a master at graphite and it shows! The pieces work well together and your master study is arranged well compositionally. I Would recommend using a wider tone of values to make your imagines really pop!
These pieces are both soft and are in the lighter side of the value scale, making them a great pair. The master study is a bit flat and more values could be used along with deeper, exaggerated shadows.
Nice rendition of the Master copy. Shadows are subtle but still stand out. The body has the same look to it in the study. Could have pushed the darks more. The foreshortening of the leg is working pretty well, off only slightly.
