Ecorche'

The term écorché, meaning literally "flayed", came into usage via the French Academies (such as the École des Beaux Arts) in the 19th century. This form of study still continues at traditional schools throughout the world.
I spent the past 6 months on this sculpture and though it was tedious and intense, I learned a huge amount. Thanks to my friend and teacher, Mike Magrath at the Gage academy of art.
