Charcoal Ear Cast Drawing – Michelangelo David Study, Classical Art (9x17 inches)

This original charcoal drawing is a classical cast study based on the ear of Michelangelo’s iconic David. Rendered at an uncommon 9x17 inch size, the piece captures the sculptural beauty, subtle forms, and complex planes of the cast with meticulously layered charcoal values.

Completed over the span of several weeks while drawing from life, this study reflects the traditional atelier approach—slow observation, careful modeling, and deep attention to form. The result is a refined, atmospheric drawing that honors both the Renaissance masterpiece and the discipline of academic training.
