This class will begin with an in-depth overview of the foundation techniques of basic figure drawing and progress towards helping students finish more “complete” drawings. Students will be introduced to strategies for laying the groundwork for a more developed figure drawing through anatomy, proportion and structure. Working directly from a live model, in costume, each class students will use charcoal on paper.

This drawing process emphasizes strong light/dark relationships, basic shapes and overall composition. Students will move the drawing from simple shapes to more and more complex details in a gradual progression towards a true likeness of the model. Lectures and demos will support the goals of the class.
