Venus’ Backside #3

Venus' Backside #3

… And another attempt, this time another shift in view. I think here I have straighten the back too much, and god knows what is going on with the right arm.  I am wondering, if the sculpture was trying to make an older model look younger – I can’t really back that statement up with anything, but something is buggin me about the statue.

Still, not a bad way to spend an hour on sunday, drawing Venus’ bum.

Venus’ Backside #2

Venus' Backside #2

… So I thought I would give it another go, this time from a different angle. I am more happier with the back on this attempt, but have probably given her a slightly more perky bum then what she actually has. Again that weight shift seems wrong to me. Here is a picture of the statue from the front, which also brings us to something else I struggled with, which was her shoulder blades. In the sculpture, there is not much detail, I have probably stressed it more in all three drawings, than what it actually is. But, where they are, seems wrong. – to me.

Venus’ Backside #1

Venus' Backside #1

Following on from where I went back to Leeds Museum to redraw the Megaloceros giganteus,  going back to the Art Gallery, I decided  I was going to revisit Antonio Canova Venus . Initially, I was going to do just the head, but walking past and umming and erring I decided I was not in the mood to be frustrated by her chin, so instead I went for her backside.

Which proved to be equally frustrating. There is something wrong with this statue. I was really battling with not trying to draw what I know, but what I see. The shift of weight on the hips seems all wrong to me, and so do the shoulders.
