This online class will introduce you to basic theories, principals, and techniques to successfully draw the figure. Instructor demonstrations will cover anatomy, proportion, gesture, composition, and light and shadow. We will concentrate on improving your eye and knowledge through demonstrations, and lots of drawing. There will be one-on-one critiques, group discussions and dialogue to help improve your drawing skills.
