Walking in the shadow of a giant

Well I've decide to work on something thing different and who better to emulate than Michelangelo. I've been fascinated by the David sculpture for a very long time and was some surprised to find that there is a full scale casting of it in the V&A. So I have decided to pay them a visit and pay homage to perhaps one of the greatest art works ever created. Now I know this is a copy but nonetheless it will still capture some of the majesty of the real thing and London is much more accessible.

So as a start of the process I am making a series of drawings of the head starting with this. I hope I don't cock it up and am able to make a reasonable drawing - only time will tell. If only I had one very small measure of Michelangelo's genius I would feel more confident in what I am about to do. Well let's hope.
