This online figure drawing class presents a sequential method for developing a figure drawing from start to finish, from block-in to light and shade development.
To begin with students will learn to establish a "block-in": a simplified statement of the figure that addresses basic concepts like shape, proportion, perspective, gesture, and measuring techniques. The block-in is then further developed into a more complete line drawing, which will include relevant discussions of form, volume, contour, curvature, and anatomy. Finally, the class will explore light and shade development where students will learn how to use tonal values to make their drawings appear illuminated and three-dimensional.
During this class, students will use a high-quality photo reference (provided) to develop a single figure drawing, allowing plenty of time to absorb concepts and methods without feeling rushed. Class sessions will feature an extended demonstration by the instructor on-camera. Each week's demo will focus on a particular stage of the drawing process, and students are encouraged to work along with the instructor and ask questions.
