Prado anyone?

So I started a new pencil drawing of a statue by Prado. Now I personally have never heard of this artist has anyone else out there? I found the picture from searching marble statues on google, normally its really hard to find good and interesting pictures of marble statues. Until I found this site it has a bunch of great old looking pictures of Greek statues (on the website it says that there of Alexander the Great, but I dont really think all of them are im not to sure?). Any way so I started working on it last night and I was really torn on wether I should do it in chalk pastels like I normally do, or just pencil. It was a really tough decision for me, because I personally know I would have had an easy time doing the peice with pastels, but I actaully choose instead to work with pencil.

I guess I choose to work with pencil because I know Im going to need alot more pencil drawings for my portfolio, I was pretty nervous starting on a full pencil drawing like this. But to my real surprise its actually turning out really well! I guess all those drawing classes this summer helped with even my drawing lines and shading just in general.

I still have alot of work to do on it, but im hoping I'll be done before the weekend is over. I'll post pictures when its done! ( sorry for the bad picture quality by the way I know they look awful! I think im just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a real digital camera instead of using my cellphone camera.)
