Bernini's David

Ashlee and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Rome a year ago. One of the highlights was a visit to Galleria Borghese. Bernini's incredible sculpture of David (close up) blew me away.

Well, today was slow for me so I started a session of David's face on my leg. The only true black is around the outer edges. Everything else is a 5% grey wash, so it'll heal much lighter. After it heals I'll come at it with a darker wash. Then, to make certain areas pop, I'll deepen sections with standard black Kuro Sumi ink.

Right now he looks like a mean, old man. Nice. I've much more to do, so I'll post as I progress.

I'm running out of room on my left leg. Everyone is telling me to use my thighs, but dang I've got some nice thighs.
