If you can draw the figure, you can draw anything. But where do you start? Ryan will guide you through figure drawing basics, from how to begin a figure drawing, to how to use light and shade to bring out the bodily forms that you see. Quick poses will help you depict the figure in action; longer poses will allow you to learn about the details of form, a study enhanced by Ryan’s attention to the skeletal and muscular anatomy that underlies what we see.
