Practice figure drawing and learn muscle/skeleton anatomy to draw humans more realistically; this class is for students already fairly comfortable drawing, who are looking to improve their technique! #Creative
Class Experience
Students who enjoy figure drawing, and want to learn techniques to make their drawings even more realistic: this class is for you! For centuries, part of an artist's classical education has included the study of the structure under the surface to help us draw more realistically. This class is a great opportunity to practice some of those fundamental techniques! Each of our figure drawing classes will include two segments: -- In the first half of class we'll do our anatomy study (muscles &...
- Students will practice drawing skills including gesture sketching, figure proportions, musculature, shading, and drapery/clothing. We'll work on developing more confidence to work independently and assess their own drawing and accuracy.
I've taught realistic drawing for over 15 years, mostly working as a full-time high school drawing and sculpture teacher, and figure drawing has always been my favorite subject. It's my goal to help my students develop the skills and confidence they need to draw anything they want!
All you'll need for this class is a pencil, eraser, and drawing paper. If you prefer to work in a sketchbook or on a drawing tablet, feel free to do so! *Additional media such as charcoal, ink, drawing pencils (2B, HB, etc), or conte crayon are optional but also acceptable.
Students are expected to exhibit maturity toward the photo models and one another during class. We will use respectful language toward all body types, and other characteristics of appearance and dress. Some models wearing less clothing (such as close-fitting tights, leotards, and swimsuits) will be shown, but all subjects will be chosen with care.
