I went to the fine art museum in Antwerp last weekend with some friends, and was really struck by the beauty of the marble statues. There’s something about the way they have such a defined and sharp silhouette, but also soft and gentle features. So I decided to to some studies based on the statues they have there - these were drawn at home from photo reference. There’s something so freeing about drawing a face purely based on the volumes and not on the colors!

Also, my arm is doing so much better and I'm back to using the hard round brush. It previously triggered some arm pain because of its pressure sensitivity, but now I'm able to use it again without too many issues. I'm overjoyed!

Have you ever read the book Piranesi by Susanna Clark? It is a wonderful story set in an incredible world; a world in a house, filled with fantastical statues, and an ocean. I feel like these statue images could be part of that world :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranesi_(novel)

I haven’t but that sounds amazing! Thanks for the recommendation. I can also recommend something: the broken earth trilogy. There’s these special kinds of people in it that are made of stone. It’s fascinating!
