The human figure is one of the best teaching and learning tools for any visual artist. In these drawing sessions, we’ll cover fundamentals of drawing such as line quality, gesture, shape, form, and value. Then we’ll move on to specific figure drawing lessons, focusing on anatomy and improving your critical eye. This class works from live models.
