If you want to know how to start, buy a cast, set it up under a single light source , set a drawing board next to it, mark a spot on the floor where you make all your observations from and draw the cast in charcoal the same exact size it appears from your observation spot. Work on the drawing, as long as it takes, until it is as close as possible in both the shapes and the tonality as you can get it. When you are done start over again. Do this for two years every day for eight hours.
I am not quite sure how my comments gave the impression that I am the one looking to the forum for tutorials to further my own work. If you have not noticed, I have not posted for critique since at least December, since I felt I need to address certain issues in my work, before taking up someone else
