This workshop is focused on learning some of the complexities of human anatomy in drawing media. Various media and techniques will be employed with the explicit aim of honing each participant’s ability to render the human form with greater ease and accuracy. This class uses life studies, and more specifically, drawing directly from a model, for most class sessions. There is an emphasis on primarily traditional approaches to drawing, to form a solid foundation upon which to build any further figure studies. As such, it is expected that the drawings made for this class aim to be in the realm of Realism. This workshop will start with skeletal renderings and move on to muscular systems to show the underlying volumes that are necessary to understand the physical landmarks of the body. Participants will gain from their observation and consistent life renderings, a better ability to map and execute the human form.
