Bargue drawings studies
Drawing studies made in 2020 as part of a morning routine. The exercises are based on a book called "Drawing Course", written by Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme in the 19th century. https://www.dessinoriginal.com/fr/-references-art/3836-drawing-course-charles-bargue-with-the-collaboration-of-jean-leon-gerome-9782867702037.html
