fundamentals of drawing
Examples for Studying In the 18th–19th century Academy of Arts prior to drawing from live models much time was given to drawing replicas from samples. Drawings by old masters, plaster casts from antique sculptures, classical paintings served as learning materials. That is how the students studied classical forms and proportions. Only in the process of drawing an artist gets an opportunity to apprehend and memorize them. Pure viewing is useless. In ancient times and
in the Age of Renaissance the young artists studied copying the works of their celebrated predecessors. The representation of feet in classical works of art proves it since the form of the feet is always the same. Here are some of the examples to memorize. But you should not confine yourself to them, look for interesting examples, practice drawing in museums.
