Thursday the 3rd of April - Gesture and Flow
We’ll start by exploring the basics of figure drawing, also known as croquis. Our focus will be on gesture—capturing the rhythm, flow, and energy of the pose to create dynamic, lifelike drawings.
Thursday the 10th of April - Structure and Form
In this session, we’ll dive into structure, learning how to make figures look three-dimensional rather than flat. By working with basic forms and mannequinization techniques, we’ll build a strong foundation for constructing believable figures.
Thursday the 17th of April - Shading and Rendering
We’ll explore shading and rendering, using light and shadow to depict form and create depth. Together, we’ll practice conveying form through values instead of relying on outlines.
Thursday the 24th of April - Long Pose Practice
In the final session, we’ll bring it all together in a long pose drawing. Applying gesture, structure, and shading, we’ll create a polished and expressive piece that incorporates everything we’ve learned.
