Was this email forwarded to you? Welcome to the Drawing Board #9!It's podcast launch day - I just wrapped up editing the first three episodes and I'm really happy to be able to present them to you today! It's been a busy week, but it's fun to reach the finish line on a small project like this and put something out into the world. If you're a Virtual Studio member, there's also a member-exclusive episode available for you! More below: It's Podcast Launch Day! Our first three episodes are live! You can watch them in video format on our YouTube channel or find them in audio format wherever you get your podcasts (spotify, apple podcasts, iheartradio, etc) Yesterday Was Michelangelo's 550th Birthday!I'm planning on celebrating him in the next newsletter by exploring his influence in a more nuanced manner than how most historians handle it - In the meantime, here's a structural drawing demonstration from a plaster cast of the David's right eye that I completed last Friday afternoon: "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."
- Michelangelo
Congrats To Our Community Member Asima!Her work has been included in a group exhibition that opens today! Well earned! I wish I was able to travel to see it! If anybody is in Chicago, could you please send us pictures? Weekly Sketch Starter:

Thanks for your kind notes about the previous Drawing Board newsletter (#8!) - it was fun to relive the narrative of moving through different creative spaces in that format. I thought this newsletter should be a bit short and sweet to balance it out. Next week I'm excited to dive into Michelangelo's form-influence. It's going to be fun!
Happy drawing,
Evan
