While the head is usually the focus of a figure or portrait drawing/painting, the hands and sometimes the feet can draw as much attention to the viewer as what the face is saying. We spend a lot of time focusing on the face, but these other parts of the body are just as complex and require and equal amount of time and training to really effectively control them.

This 4-weeks is dedicated to focusing on these other parts of the figure, how to break them down, how to draw them without fear or difficulty, and how to add life and character into the piece.

Each class will have four sections:

Look at a few old masters that did similar treatments to the subject, and practice their mark making process.
Mark making and using the tools efficiently and effectively.
Technical information through draw along demonstrations.
Shortcuts or thoughtful tips to help speed up the decision-making process.

Each class will break into a specific part of the process:

Anatomy
Construction
Rendering
and Calligraphy respectively

The more you know the less you have to think about “what”, and the more time you can spend experiencing the “why”.

18″x24″ newsprint pad-preferred smooth but rough will also work

A roll of tracing paper the width of the pad for doing tracings over your work to correct information you have already drawn

Charcoal Pencils Preferred Generals Brand at the 4B or 6B density/softness

Kneaded Eraser

Drawing Board

Razor Blades to sharpen the pencils

Sketchbook and pen to take notes
