Here is an image of my entire process and end result of drawing this Last Supper painting. Drawing a sketch based on a painting is much harder than drawing a sketch based on a sketch but I made it work. This drawing took about 8 hours. It’s fascinating how much you learn about a piece when you spend that much time reworking it. One of the things I was shocked by was the COUNTLESS amounts of hand gestures. Anyone who draws knows that hands are some of the hardest to draw so I was tediously coming across every one of these hands and realizing not a single hand gesture is the same. It really makes you think about how reactionary the entire dinner party is.
