In this class you will learn how to break down specific areas of the human figure with line art and value studies. A common reason for not being able to draw the figure the way that we want is because we might avoid certain areas that we don’t quite understand how to draw.
What will I learn in this class?
- How to Study Specific Areas of the Figure
- How to Add Value to Create Depth and Dimension
- How to Draw the Male and Female Torso
- Muscle Anatomy and Terminology
- Various Bony Landmarks
What tools will I need?
Use whatever tools you prefer for creating line art and adding value. I will be working digitally but you can follow along with pencil, paper, and a blending stump. IF you are working digitally then you will generally use a smudge brush at a low setting or a soft airbrush to create your values.
Why should I take this class?
These types of focused studies allow you to get past those mental barriers and draw the human figure with more confidence.
Try doing this with the areas that you struggle with the most. It won’t be easy at first but you will transform your work and be pleased with yourself for tackling those difficult areas.
Remember, lack of confidence generally comes from avoidance of the things we know we should be doing!
