Rodin was and is THE sculptor! Effortlessness in any scale, a master with clay! A small museum in Karlsruhe, Germany, had a rough clay sculpt of Rodin portraying his version of Christ. After school I used to meander to that museum and stand in front of it, gob-smacked and in awe, while my mum was waiting at home with a cooked dinner. I never got a picture of it, but the image is imbedded in my head. Would love to go back there one day and steal it.
hi matt - did you actually see your girlfriend when you visited paris or did you fill every spare moment drawing . great stuff by the way . i saw rodin sculptures in my teens when there was a tour of his work. he does hands well no ?
Musee Rodin is a fantastic place indeed, I loved going there when I was living in Paris, Musee d'Orsay is beautiful too! Your sketches are superb Matt! love the light and colors you added on photoshop.
Beautiful images of the sculptures Matt! Nice adding the simply blocked tonals. I think the bottom one is my favourite, but they are all great! Thanks for the inspiration. Did you use a brush with wash or a marker to do the original sketches?
Very confident studies Matt! I have to admit, I thought the same thing that Mr. Roberts thought too. Though, I suppose sketching is somewhat like journaling; capturing what you are seeing visually rather than writing it.

Yeah, there's no more powerful, dynamic sculpture than Rodin's - Michelangelo's are beautiful & divine but Rodin is unmatched for sheer energy.
Thanksssss for the drawing bossssssss!!

Just because you know how to do it. Lovely.
