Well, I FINALLY got the chance to see the Rubens show at the Met. It was a collection of drawings, some originals, studies, copies, and reworks over other artist's hands. It was incredible, only second to the da Vinci exhibit couple of years back.
It's a must see for anyone who loves drawing or would simply like to understand his methods and studies. His cross-hatching is beautiful, every line looks planned to fall in it's proper place. If I get a chance to see it again, I will bring a magnifying glass with me. Hopefully there will be less people to have more time to stand in front of the drawings without feeling selfish.
