Advance your understanding of the human figure’s complex construction while heightening your ability to draw a figure from observation. This class is designed to bridge the gap between standard life drawing practices and anatomical studies of the figure. Working from the model you will systematically draw the figure to fit landmarks within a set proportion system. Simultaneously, you will further your understanding of the figure’s anatomical structure by breaking down the volumes of the figure into geometric concepts and posing them in space. Emphasis on perspective, gesture, balance and proportion will be stressed throughout to aid in the illusion of credibility posed figures. You should leave this class with a better understanding of the figure’s key landmarks, its form sense and its construction, as well as a greater ability to render a figure from life and from memory. Some life drawing experience recommended.
