My question pertained to drawings by the masters. I really have not studied them much, but I cannot recall any drawings which were like the "photorealist" drawings which are so popular today.

With all due respect to the fabulous paintings which were 3D as you put it, and to your magnificent paintings which truly are to be admired, when it comes to drawing, as in pencil, I like to see the line work. Most drawings today just lack the line work. Most of the old masters drawings that I have seen utilized line work of some kind, not just the smoothed and polished painted look. I can admire the realist drawings, but personally, I like a drawing that looks drawn. Show me the lines. I can't help it. I like 'em.
