I was not aware of this, but apparently Michelangelo's "David" was sculpted when Michelangelo was 26 out of a piece of scrap marble that someone had already tried to carve.

I used the same model for Michelangelo that I did last summer when I sketched him painting the Sistine Chapel.

Now my kids see the "David" statue on TV or in a magazine and say, "Look, Mommy, I saw your painting!"
