Human Form Drawing Class: Mastering Proportions, Movement, and Details.

Unlock the secrets of capturing the human form with precision and artistry in our comprehensive drawing class. Designed for artists at all levels, this course delves into the fundamental techniques and advanced skills required to draw the human body with confidence and accuracy.

What will be covered in this course?

Introduction to the human body's basic proportions and skeletal structure with techniques for measuring and maintaining accurate proportions in drawings.
Understanding proportional relationships between the limbs and the torso, techniques for drawing realistic hands and feet and understanding proportions and structure of the head in relation to the rest of the body.
Capturing movement and techniques for drawing the body in motion and drawing various poses to reflect different moods and actions.
