They will use proper sketching, shading and blending techniques. This class will start with the fundamentals on human anatomy to construct well-proportioned human figures. Students will then use Lines of Action to draw dynamic poses. Once they master the skills of illustrating energy and movement, they will progress to learn foreshortening techniques in drawing hands, arms and legs to put "drama" into gestures and dynamic poses. Class will then proceed to combine foreshortening and high-angled perspective to illustrate movements with power and speed.
