Here is a study that I did from a Heinrich Kley image. I know it’s a copy, but I gotta’ start somewhere! Right? My goal is to be able to picture something in my imagination and bring it to life on paper. Critiques welcome!

So here are my submissions for the pre-meeting assignments given. I’ve not yet included a finished drawing. I’m still new to drawing (I’m currently a level 1 student in Stan’s drawing basics course), but I thought I’d give it a try just the same. The Kley drawing I used for the gesture and analytical exercises was “Die Schleppe” (included here for reference). I also included two reverie drawings: a dog jumping onto a table and a horse rearing. Thanks! :)
