What you will learn
1Manniquinizing and Rhythm
You'll learn the basic Reilly Rhythms. These will help you draw a proportional figure while maintaining a sense of movement and gesture.
2Structure and Constructive Anatomy
We'll continue to fill out our figures with solid three dimensional construction. Understanding the constructive anatomy of the human form will help you build more complex looking and believable figures.
3Advanced Abstraction and Artistic Anatomy
Delve into the Watts-Reilly method with Jeff's revamped Reilly system, perfect for exploring intentionally designed anatomy, also known as "artistic anatomy.
4Finished Tonal Rendering
We'll wrap up the course with two fully rendered figure drawings: one male and one female. You'll be using everything that you've learned up to this point to help aid your understanding of rendering light on form.
