Artist research


To get an even better understanding of the figure I went to visit Leonardo Di vinci exhibition 'Anatomical drawings' where Di vinci studies how the body works internally by cutting into bodies to study how certain thinks worked and how things effected one another. He was well ahead of anyone in his era with the understand of the body. However what stood out to me in the exhibition was how precise and beautifully done his drawings were. I am quite squeamish when it comes to the body and dissecting them. However he drew with a quill and ink and make the drawings have a romantic soft feel to them. What was also fascinating about him is he wrote in mirror hand because he was left handed. So he basically wrote everything backwards making even the writing on the pages look delicate and beautiful.
