David Cast Drawing

Medium: Graphite on paper
Subjects: 1
Detail level: Refined

Layered graphite shading describes the planes of the face and the curls of the hair. The strongest darks sit in the recesses and beneath the chin.

This cast drawing is shown as an academic studio exercise in observing form and tone.

This is the studio's own work, painted to develop and demonstrate technique — not a commission, and not something we sell copies of. How we handle image rights.
