In this first part we’ll go over materials, building the armature, and begin building out the clay for the design sketch.

Is there a video on how to light the model for gesture drawing and for longer drawing poses? What kind of light bulb and light stand to use? Also, How to get a good division of light and shadow on the model when you have a class of life drawing students all sitting at different angles from the model? Thanks!

I am not sure. I have usually just gone on Youtube for lighting videos and advice. I don't do drawing classes only sculpture.

Quick Sculpting for Beginners
Throughout this course, I’ll show you three separate demos that touch on principles of design in sculpting, working with and posing a live model, and my approach to creating a sculpture sketch from imagination.

In this video, I go over what to do with a first-time model to make sure that he or she feels comfortable and to start getting some interesting poses to work with.

In the second part of this demo I’ll show how to move things around in the design and change the position of things like the head, legs, torso and arms to get a desired feeling for the concept sketch.

This third video will go over finishing up the sculpture design sketch and establishing some light details in the head, hands and feet and deciding on how the hair will work with the design.

Part 1
Introduction to the three principles of design. Movement, gesture and visual weight. Then I’ll start a sculpture using a relatively stiff standing pose and show how I like to add gesture to the sculpture.

Part 2
I continue my sculpting demo started in part 1 which focuses on adding gesture to a simple pose as I start to refine the design. More on what to look for when focusing on gesture without pushing the gesture too far.
