I not used to charcoal, feeling my hand a little heavy. It was enjoyable anyway. Patrick always has something to share and one adventurous way to perceive art.
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

In this lesson, we’ll unlock the secrets of mastering figure drawing and we’ll do it by embracing the foundations of shapes and rhythms. Imagine the human form as a dance of curves and lines, each movement guided by its own rhythm.

You’ll discover powerful techniques like blind contour drawing, a way to loosen your lines and banish stiffness. With this, your figures will flow with elegance .

We’ll explore proportions, using simple shapes and easy-to-remember tricks to make sense of the human form. The key is building from the inside out, big shapes first, then the details, like a sculptor chiseling away at stone.

Along the way, you'll see how repetition and drawing from multiple angles will sharpen your skills.

We’ll also venture into the magic of contrapposto and asymmetry, where figures come to life, no longer stiff and lifeless, but full of motion and soul.

Within this lesson knowledge is an abundant treasure of tips, tools and practices to bring your figure drawing to new heights.

Let’s get started on this journey of mastery!

Practice drawing using simple shapes and rhythms, focusing on gesture and proportions. Repeat often, enjoy the process, and don't fear mistakes.

There's so much packed even in the first potion that I'm sure I'll have to go back and repeat this lesson numerous times, that's not even counting absorbing Patrick's wisdom that could also be listened on it's own as audiobook!
