I love figure drawing from life (as opposed to photo reference) though I usually work from photo due to necessity.
Here are some masters that I admire for their technical chops: Francois Boucher (the man reaching out and the winged man) and Charles Bargue (woman’s face). They’re both well known for working in the French Academic style.
My drawings are on the second row, I work more by eye than with the formulaic aplomb of these skilled academics but I admire them nonetheless.

Hi Naser,
So glad you are reading Maquette. I am so sorry that the photos are not showing up for you. That’s terrible! But you can look at some of my stuff on my website http://www.samanthahahn.com. That won’t be all of it but hopefully you can see some of it and follow the links on my blog to other artist’s sites that I mention. Thank you so much for tuning in. Best to you!
