What wonderful images and what excellent drawings! I'm sure there are many who are reading this wistfully - to draw alongside other artists helps to stave off the feeling of fruitless and lonely labor. I wish these dedicated and talented young artists a long lifetime of productive work and much success.
I also welcome this thread in that it encourages people to learn academic drawing techniques on their own schedule and timeframe. I hope this thread will encourage artists to set up their own "home school" area to hone their drawing skills and sensitivity. There are books out there that set forth atelier methods and procedures, though a few years with Jacob Collins, Jeff Mims (or William Whitaker, or course) would be hard to beat.
By the way, the Bargue book is no longer in production; I talked to people at the Dahesh Museum about it this morning. However, one can still find many fine examples of master drawings to copy, in books and on the internet. Casts are also readily available online; I have a good one from Guist Gallery. (It was expensive, but after I draw it for a while I plan to either sell or donate it to an art school.)
If you can't get access to the bust of Brutus or drawings of Piazetta, the lowbrow types among us can always copy Spiderman action figures and Frank Frazetta.
Thanks again for this inspiring thread and some shots of your killer new studio, Bill!
