Figure drawing essentials: Modeling the form

This class is oriented around the steps necessary to transform a 2d outline into a realistic work of art. By studying the human figure and its interaction with light, we’ll learn how to manipulate our edges and values to clearly represent what we see in the visual world. Excepting some vocabulary terms, this class is intended for all levels and is an excellent introduction to the world of figurative art. Enjoy!
