As a patron of The Unexpected Gypsy, I enjoy getting inspired by her art practices. Lately, she has shared her copies of drawings by British artist J.W. Waterhouse. She included the source material from the book: J. W. Waterhouse: 93 Drawings ,by Narim Bender.
Copying other artists'work is called making a master copy. As long as you don't pass the work off as your own original creation, there's nothing wrong with making master copies. In fact, it's a great way to learn from the masters.
Every drawing teaches you something, and especially master copy drawings.
What artists do you admire? Pick a favorite artwork of theirs and try to recreate it. The process will unlock new understanding and provide inspiration.
