I want to start practicing drawing people again, so I found a few portraits from various old artists to copy in the small moleskin notebook from the last post. From left to right the original art for these are by John Singer Sargent, Anthony van Dyck, Hans Holbein the Younger, and Rembrandt van Rijn. I used a .3mm mechanical pencil with 2H lead.
Too Much White Paper 
very masterly!
I like these…your ‘hair’ work is very good!
Beautiful work, nice all around ~
Gorgeous. I think the old masters – and misstresses – still have a lot to teach us
Yeah, I’ve been looking at a lot of the old drawings lately and wishing I had been more dedicated to practicing and practicing more years ago. Speaking of female artists, have you seen http://womenintheactofpainting.blogspot.com ?
Thank you. I have just looked and re blogged. Lovely site
