Torso of Apollo - Ames

watercolour, graphite on watercolour paper

I had done a sketch of this sculpture when I was completing my A-Levels and I wanted to try it again. The blue colour gives a nice contrast to the sketch. To shade I used crosshatching and q-tips to smudge it and give it a smoother finish while using an eraser for highlights. I felt like I needed more texture so I scribbled faintly around the whole drawing.
