Leonardo Tribute Sketch Spread AND Compilation of Tweet Posts

My tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci on the 500th-year anniversary of his death is to make a sketch spread in my Moleskine sketchbook of figures, faces and objects like he might have. Of course, Leonardo was a phenomenal sketch master, unlike me, but I am inspired to follow his lead however imperfect my skill:

I have numerous Twitter posts and retweets embeded below:

Leonardo da Vinci: '5 Grotesque Heads,' 1494 (approx), pen and ink on paper, 261 x 206 cm. He really dug how the parts of the face that move -- eyes, mouths, eyebrows -- are the key to expressing emotions. pic.twitter.com/gAFnsnz62p

I'm not done w/ tweets abt the 500 years since #LeonardoDaVinci's death. I bet #Leonardo would TOTALLY be into Quantum Physics. & he'd make much better sketches and notes about it than mine👇. Also, I think he might dig that a fellow Italian is a major QP researcher! #Leonardo500 pic.twitter.com/M6ae7ykFyS

#Leonardo had an incredibly quick eye! Do a search on his drawings of cats! I could never sketch a cat's movements like him. - #TBT - "Cats are easy to draw when they are sleeping..." #flickr https://t.co/yEFzMzg7c5

Terrific write-up on #Leonardo explains unfortunately that "His grave has been lost, as the church of St. Florentin, where he was buried, was damaged during the French revolution..." - check out linked resources - https://t.co/QN0XOfzQp7

This picture of Leonardo is believed to have been drawn
shortly before his death in 1519. The sketch was likely
drawn by one of his assistants.

A good article about it here.
