Figure Drawing Basics

Description

In this course, you will learn :

• Figure drawing is a broad subject with numerous approaches that anyone can take. What I wanted to do was create a basic guide of what I felt was most helpful to me when I first started studying the figure many years ago.
• We'll go over how to get started blocking-in and measuring, how to use anatomical landmarks as a guide, and essentially simplify the figure into basic elements so that it doesn't feel so daunting if you're just starting out!
• This is a slightly longer class because I wanted to be thorough. Even so, I couldn't possibly cover everything, so consider this an overview to begin with.
