I love this sculpt and never get tired of drawing it. I find I'm seeing new things and learning so much about anatomy and form, which, I guess is one of the rewards of drawing from life. The next round will be from another interesting angle. For this drawing, I started quite slowly near the bottom, eventually working my way up and then on the different parts simultaneously. I find this helps me to avoid doing a 'sketch'. It can be tricky to distinguish the form from the discoloration of ageing marble and the effects of stone. I guess Rubens was right. It's a challenge, working with just line whereas, when using tone, drawing errors can be hidden.
