Class Experience
**This class is available to be scheduled at your request! Message with your preferred start date. Flex class lessons are recorded and may be completed on the day(s) of your choosing. *********************************** Interested in learning to sketch faces from different angles? Or different types and styles of hair? Learn how face proportions alter as the pose changes, practice drawing from observation, and using shading techniques to create more lifelike drawings through this course....
We will practice drawing proportionate human faces in a variety of angles, adding hair, other features, and shading. Our goal is to become more familiar with human face proportions, and more comfortable applying them to our drawings.
Figure drawing is my favorite art discipline! I have years of experience creating my own drawings and sculptures, using the human form as inspiration, and I always brought my enjoyment and expertise to my students when we created figurative artworks. I have taught figure drawing to elementary, junior high, and high school age students for over a decade, and look forward to meeting more young artists who want to learn this skill!

Block eraser (I prefer white block erasers such as Pentel or Staedtler, but any art eraser is fine.)
