Michelangelo: Quest for Genius

This is the drawings by the famous man Michelangelo. Just looking at this drawing it is clear that this man was moderately fit. there is a very good use of cross hatching that creates depth and shadows. While there are partial drawings within the picture it doesn't feel incomplete. This would be fun to replicate as well. There is a lot of fobs, flubs and dudley dos.

Secrets of the Veduta (Part 1): Bril, Perelle, Van de Passe, Le Blon, Brown, Piranesi & Major

Crispin van de Passe the Elder (c.1565–1637) [attributed]

I'm literally obsessed with this artist. The cross hatching and the sheer detail of this is more then enough to give a detailed discription of the land. Even with the detail from the cross hatching there were patches of colors in the leaves. The picture is also very aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.

This cross hatching is by the same artist yet much less clearer. It appears to be an image of a person but I'm not exactly sure what that is. The composition of the image is very dark and while the light can show through it is not enough to over power. The use of lights and darks make up the picture. It almost feels as if the whites are the lines within the paper.

This Illustration is amazing! I really enjoy the use of colors that goes from lights to darks and vice versa. The lighter colors really draws the eyes of the on looker. although there is a focal point in this picture it does not feel unwelcome. The land in the painting is not particularly realistic, however it is uses enough symbols that allow a person to imagine a real land. What adds an element of interest to the painting is the use of circles that add a glare to the picture. Makes you feel well.
