Side to Side Comparison of the original work of Francois Boucher and my own study. Overall, this was a very informative and experiential learning process. I think ultimately the proportions, especially concerning the head is a work in progress. I remember not being able to quite get it right when drawing it with pencil and just deciding to move on. I think I ultimately need to practice and take more time in approaching my figures - especially in the initial drawing and making sure, before, I add details to accurately get the perspective and foreshortening correct. I have also learned that there is much more value to line than I have previously acknowledged or utilized prior to this project. In working and studying Boucher's approach, his use of line is an extremely powerful tool in his rendering of form. There is a stark contrast between his dark, bold lines, and carefully-placed, elegant, light lines. One thing I for sure will take away from this project is the many MANY different lines that can be used in drawing form. I think that, for a first observational replication (where there is still much room for improvement) I am happy from where I started. I took a lot away from this project, and am really excited to practice what I have learned from it.
