To follow Michelangelo

 

Just look at the above art by Michelangelo. It is so good that I get clean bowled. The dark and the light areas are so well drawn. The drawing seem to pop out in 3d.

I want my drawings of portraits this way.

I am going to follow the following principle to be able to draw like Michelangelo.  " if there is cosine hatching for dark, then there is cosine hatching for light"

I intend to use above principle and experiment and try to get a superb finish.

Is hyper-realistic portraits possible by hatching only?

Well, this question was there in my mind always. Because I strongly believe in good hatching.  

Google AI has provided the answer to the question. 

I need to learn new tricks.  I just love hyper-realistic portraits and I want to make a "more than perfect" portraits. 

And therefore I need to use range of pencils, blending,  layering and mix hatching techniques. 

Any help from blog readers will be helpful and highly appreciated. 

Have a good day.
