Well said. I enjoy his red chalk sketches.

Excellent piece and drawn really well.

Very good and a great exercise

Thank you for your kind comments!

This is a superb chalk drawing. I like the way you move the darks up the page. I totally agree about learning from copying the masters.

A polychromos pencil sketch after a red chalk drawing by Leonardo. It is by copying the masters that you learn about art and how good they were!
