MON PM - Figure Drawing from Life: Level 2 with Donnie

Learn to draw the human figure, where the principles of form and proportion as well as gesture and movement are applied, with the aid of a live model.

• Improve your hand-eye coordination
• Draw short and long poses
• Measure human proportions through observation with the help of a live model
• Draw with charcoal
