Course Description/Contents:
Learn the foundations of figure
drawing: techniques for bringing the human form to life on paper. Artist and
teacher breaks down a classical approach to figure drawing into simple steps:
capturing gesture and motion, mapping out structure and form, understanding
the common "landmarks" of the body, drawing proportionally, and
adding volume with shapes and shadows. Filmed on premise in a professional art
studio, this course shows how to work with live models and different drawing
materials. It's ideal for beginners who are just learning to draw the human
