Life Drawing Skills

Learn new life drawing techniques and refine them with each session. Choose which ones work best for you, or book for all five!

Friday 7 August
Building upon the mapping out from Session 1, we’ll look at breaking down the figure into basic shapes, ‘negative space’ or the spaces between and around the figure.

Friday 4 September
Units of measurement: we'll take an in-depth look at units of measurement, and the process for identifying and applying them accurately.

Friday 2 October
Process: this session will explore how we weave together what we’ve learned into a step-by-step process. We'll look at where we might apply one technique, or another, and how that benefits our drawing.

Friday 6 November
Refinement: we'll consciously review the techniques and tips from the previous sessions and aim to combine them during our drawing process.

Friday 4 December
Refinement: a long-form pose. This session will apply everything we’ve learned to drawing a single, long-form pose. The model will have periodic breaks for rest, but other than that we will have time to apply and refine the use of mapping, shape identification, and units of measurement to complete an accurate rendering of our model.
