Next Master's Drawing - Day 1

My next copy is based on a DaVinci study for The Battle Of Anghiari. One of the challenges in this one for me is the many values in it. Another is that it's a face (yikes !). I find faces very difficult to do. I have a hard time getting proportions right, correct angles, and the proper relationships between the various features. So, this one seemed like a good one for me. DaVinci did so many faces - many of them quite monstrous. I'm thinking that at some point I will do some of them. So, here is my reference photo, followed by my initial go at it.

When time allows, I'll have to go back and read your previous posts.
I took a course in figure drawing from Joan Brown in SF after I got out of HS. Sadly, I never realized just who she was. How crazy is that ; (
Nancy-I think you are off to a great start!!
That is coming out great, looking forward to seeing more
What a great start! I can't wait to see how it progresses.
Drawing from the masters is THE best teacher.
Love your work here Nancy.

These are getting better all the time, Nancy! Great progress. The shading is perfect. Looking forward to seeing the finished result!

This is starting out really well. Your eye looks terrific. Are you learning anything you think will transfer specifically to your own pictures or do you think you are just getting practice in fine-tuning your sight to hand skills (both are great, I'm just wondering).
Wow, you're doing a GREAT job!!
I like your better than his! Revelle
