In this class, students will be practicing how to draw fully clothed figures from the very basics onward. We will build the body from simple shapes, and use those simple shapes to pose the body however we want! These skills will help all students interested in drawing, character design, animation, cartoons, and everything in between! I will be drawing along with students in real time and checking in on their work so I can offer helpful advice and critiques face to face. I will be sharing my screen so students can use my drawings as reference as we go. 

In the first class, we will practice how to break down the whole figure. We will use our simple shapes to build a full body and practice various poses. In the second week, we will practice heads and faces in various directions. In the third week, we will practice hair of various lengths and textures. In the fourth week, we will practice hands in various poses. In the fifth week, we will practice drawing different body types. Finally, in the sixth week, we will add shading and highlights to make our figures look 3D!

We will use references from trusted figure drawing reference sites and images from media. All subjects will be fully clothed at all times.

Beginners welcome and encouraged! If you can draw the human body, you can draw anything!
