This is the very first lesson that you will undertake as a student of drawing. It is simple, but challenging.
The goal, the target you are trying to hit is not a perfect reproduction of the Bargue- it is to experience and internalise the concepts present in this lithograph. Namely- what is a shadow shape, a light shape, how to block in using straight lines, triangulation, and more.
I hope you enjoy this re-edit of this lesson- I tried to make it flow as well as it could and to keep it as short and dense as possible as well.
Graphite pencils- from 2H-4B
