Maybe they're useful to McPloos, just to select three famous places and stay in Rome .... a discreet quantity and little to say about quality I guess.
If You like Egyptian statues and archaeology instead, there's nothing better in the world than Turin Egyptian Museum, unless You want to risk a visit to Cairo ....

Hi Caesar.

Good sculptures and I would be in heaven wandering those sculptures. Still blows my mind how people can shape something as lacking of movement as stone and make it appear so supple and vital. But, as Mr Ploos "bashes" the sculpture, he'll never destroy a one since he means he's sketching them as opposed to taking a sledge hammer to them like that maniac who damaged Michelangelo's Pieta some decades back. (In case it doesn't translate, "bash it out" is a British idiom or slang meaning to do (whatever) quick and dirty. In American we might say "knock it out". Sometimes the nonchalance of that saying belies there could be real quality to the piece like when you see a masterwork and the artist says "Nothing to it". I would imagine that Italian has similar sayings?)

Of the eras of sculpture I have to favor the later ones from Michelangelo, Bernini and on up into the 19th century. The real old stuff was great as a starting point but it developed. Then of course there was the sensuality of the Indian (country) sculpture with its stylization of vitality -- from the people who brought us the Kama Sutra. What's not to love. Anyway, no end to those highways and byways for the Ploos Boos.

Go Mr Ploos! You're doing great! We'll make a proper sculptor of you yet. I recall seeing preparatory drawings for sculptures as with Rodin in his early days. They were excellent and detailed, like the ultimate road map for the carving.

You're getting the essence and I think it's a great series for you. Was a super idea to try your hand at drawing these "models".

Go man Go!!!!!!
