From Drawing to Painting the figure
Lesson 1
Drawing the figure
SUMMARY OF LESSON 1
In our first lesson, we will draw the figure, first with pencil, then with charcoal. You will learn/review how to measure proportions and direction of the movement, as these are the basic but most important steps into figure drawing and painting.
I will show you my favorite way of capturing the figure on paper. Once You are comfortable with that technique, we will move on to loosening up with charcoal! The goal is, to put movement into your figure drawing. For those of you, who are more fluent in figure drawing, please see this part as an addition of your repertoire.
