how to draw like raphael---by gardega


Here is a quick drawing I made tonight (again after Raphael) to show that he used his lines not only for shading/shadows but to show form. His lines follow the form and curves of the figure. I should have exaggerated this a bit to make clear but I did not. His line shave an elegance unsurpassed in art even by Leonardo. I used to be able to copy him more precise but I became myself and now it is harder. No matter how much you try to be another you will fail and end up as yourself.
