This academic ecorche pencil drawing by Yana Evans presents a front view of the iconic sculpture by Jean-Antoine Houdon, rendered with precision and sensitivity on white paper. Alongside the muscular figure stands a skeletal construction drawn entirely from imagination, a technique deeply rooted in the Russian drawing method, where internal structure is visualized to reinforce anatomical accuracy.
The composition reflects the discipline and clarity of the Russian Academic Drawing Approach: expressive tonal rendering meets rigorous constructive analysis. Every form, shadow, and bone has been considered not just visually but conceptually, bridging anatomy and artistic interpretation. This is part of a two-part study; a back view drawing completes the set.
Created as part of Yana Evans’ ongoing exploration of form, structure, and classical aesthetics, this drawing embodies the principles of the Russian drawing method and is ideal for collectors of anatomical art, students of academic drawing, and anyone passionate about the timeless craft of figurative art.
Custom anatomical drawings and commissions are also welcome.
