Holbein drawing sketch copy
Another day, another Holbein. At some point I'll revisit all of these and probably get demoralized as to how little improvement there's been. #mastersketch25 #mastersketch #dailysketch #portraitsketch
Collage of the #mastersketch25 Holbein sketch copies
While I'm here here are all the Holbein sketches for Todd Casey's #mastersketch25 (There were two paintings as well but it spoils the collage)

I'm enjoying the Holbeins so I'm carrying on for now. They only take 30 mins or so and I do them with my morning coffee. Good start to the day. #dailysketch #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch

Day 30 and the last day of #mastersketch25 Didn't think I'd make it through the whole month and, frankly, I haven't done as much drawing for a while. Good times and thanks to Todd Casey #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Second to last of the Holbeins and a nice one today. Left facing and not an ethereal young lady or a bearded dude.

Another tricky one that looks simple. Mostly line (partly why I like Holbein drawings) which leaves you very little room for error. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. But still the sketches go on. Finally one facing to the left for a change. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

Day 26 of #mastersketch25 Feeling like I'm on a bit of a plateau here. Still finding things that my judgement is out on various things but not finding a way through. #dailysketch #portraitsketch

Day 25 of #mastersketch25. Only 5 more but still plenty of Holbeins left in the bag. #portraitsketch #dailysketch. Rather enjoyed this one. A somewhat sturdier person which makes a change from the delicate ladies.

Day 24 of #mastersketch25 It's been a loooong month. I am finding I look forward to doing the daily drawing much more than I did at the start. It's nice to get something 'real' done first thing. Another Holbein - looking to the right!

The proportions are definitely right on this one. Another simple one that I like #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

It seems that a lot of these Holbein drawings have people facing towards the right. Very awkward for me as a right hander. I'm going to hazard a guess that Holbein was left handed.
#mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch
Kinda tempted to feed each of your #mastersketch25 into a SVG auto line trace and extraction util and see how many curves it pulls for each drawing. There may be existing code or prior art for this, basically a kinda “drawing complexity score” 🤣

Very clean this one and looks simple but wasn't. Probably now my favorite so far of the Holbeins. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Day 20 of #mastersketch25 and I'm back to the solid graphite for today's Holbein. It gets nice darks but the mechanical pencil has a better, more delicate line. #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Another pared down Holbein drawing copy but definitely starting to have more character. One of my faves I think this. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

Mostly using the mechanical here. It gives a lighter value to get those subtle skin changes. Another Holbein #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Probably not visible right now but I'm sensing a change now we're 17 days in. The process is easier and I'm focusing on what's important to render. Another Holbein for #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch
Michele does seem to be the only person posting here on bluesky with the #mastersketch25 hashtag.
Best part is you can see all her versions with one hashtag. It’s bigger on other social sites just not here.
#magicpuss and #chromapuss agree that having a unique hashtag rocks. 🤣

Day 16 in the #mastersketch25 already! Over half way. One thing that's come out of this is me appreciating even more how good Holbein is. #dailysketch #portraitsketch

On with the Holbeins. Concentrating on the feature relationships and am slowly honing things. Still retaining some life in the lines though I hope #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Slowing down a little. Doing one of these each day really hammers home where you need to slow down and pay attention. Every angle counts. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

Ditched the mechanical pencil for this for a solid graphite one. Like them both really. Another Holbein. Day 13 of #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch
Holbein pencil study
Ok - a little better with the proportions today I think. Another Holbein. This one I think is the husband of yesterday's lady. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Day 10 of #mastersketch25 and another Holbein. Quite a way off with this one even though I'm being more careful. I seem to be going in the wrong direction... #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Getting easier but maybe not better... Hard to say #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #dailydrawing #portraitsketch

Another day, another Holbein. I must learn to place these sketches more carefully on the page. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch #mastercopy

These are getting to be fun and only take 20 mins. Another Holbein portrait today #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch #portrait

Rushed at this one and it shows. There's always tomorrow #mastersketch25 #sketchdaily #mastercopy

Day 2 of #mastersketch25 and a Holbein sketch. Oh boy my drawing skills are in need of sharpening up. At least she looks human.
