Figure Drawing for Complete Beginners
with Derys Lyttle
This is a Figure Drawing class with a live model that will focus on beginners who have never drawn from a nude, live model before.
We will use converging shapes to “build” the figure, triangles, ovals, circles , etc, that can give us our first understanding of how to think of three- dimensional form as we learn to draw it on a two-dimensional surface. Beginning this way, without relying on only our outside lines, will help our understanding of what it means to enjoy figure drawing! This will give us an education of form and a keen sense of volume that we can then proceed to add upon to further learn anatomical elements.
