Mary Magdalene Study in Ink

This week I drew an ink study of Paul Delaroche’s Drapery Study for the Figure of the Dying Mary Magdalene.

The original art is owned by the Met (Link to the Met).

Here’s the original image…

I just loved the drapery on this drawing. So I had a go at making an ink study of it…

Overall I wasn’t really happy with the results. I think trying this in pencil would have been a much better idea. Still, I learned a lot from trying it.
