Final Cast
Today I finally finished up my cast drawing of the Nike. I have been fighting this annoying headcold for the entire weekend which made drawing anything much harder. Luckily this was the only homework this week since I am way behind on my freelance.
Thanks guys. Yes, 19th century...almost everything in the cast hall is from that era or earlier except for the easle and a few of the smaller figures, some of which do go back 100 years or so.
I was going for the look or feeling established by Thomas Anshutz, eakins successor and one heck of an artist and instructor. he did these magnificent cast drawings full of gloom and atmosphere. That is the esthetic I'm going for.

Well done man! Hope you get better soon!
this really has the look of a 19th century book illustration...you know,like a Holmes story...'THE CASE OF THE MISSING VENUS".
