Two drawings from the Met. These were quick ink drawings I did in the Etruscan garden. I usually sit and draw these sculptures for longer, but I was with two friends one of whom doesn't draw so I felt a little obligated to work quickly. I think it worked out good, because I wasn't as worried about the detail as I was about the general shape and form (specially with the Aphrodite).
I usually draw the Aphrodite when I go to the Met, maybe I'll look through old sketchbooks and post the many versions of the same sculpture I've done over the years. Both of these were done with india ink ( the Aphrodite also with a white pen) in a brown toned paper sketchbook.
