More feature studies and a self portrait drawing!
Here's some of my remaining feature studies, plus a shadow map self-portrait! Lately my studying is involving cast drawing so I've been looking for sources to get some of those at a fair price.
Currently I'm using a bunch of high quality photos of busts from the MET, since you can download them and they're nicely lit with a dominant light source. It'll work for now but I would like to get a decent cast or two just to practice live from.
I'm planning to check out TJ Maxx or some of the thrift shops/antique stores in my area and see if there's anything I can use. One of my friends found a bust that was a lamp in a thrift store! The casting was good if small, but she removed the lamp portion of it and just spray painted it white and you wouldn't be able to tell.
