The Art & Science of Figure Drawing
"The human figure is the most rewarding but the most challenging subject to draw."
Are you excited to learn figure drawing? In this course I'll demystify the figure drawing process for you and teach practical skills that are easy for you to learn. We'll start with simple shapes and then transition to learning how to accurately draw a figure in three dimensions. You'll also learn how to depict flesh, muscle, and bone as well as how to shade using dramatic light and shadow.
This instruction is some of the most accessible and effective methods for drawing the figure and I've included beautiful and detailed drawing demonstrations of every phase of the figure drawing process to help you learn it. I've packed it with powerful insights into any artist can appreciate that's clear and concise. Many of the tools and techniques you'll learn here are rarely seen outside of private art academies.
I’ll also be holding 4 livestream critiques providing students feedback for submitted work. This perk is only available for students purchasing this course on Proko (see FAQ for details)
The course content itself is identical. However, I’ve worked with Proko to bundle the course together in a way that streamlines the learning experience. That along with the community features that Proko has built in, makes for an enhanced learning experience.
Also, along with your lifetime access to the course material, for the first time, Brent will be holding 4 student critique livestream events.
09/18/2024 10am PT - Livestream 1 (Gesture)
10/09/2024 10am PT - Livestream 2 (Volume & Structure)
11/13/2024 10am PT - Livestream 3 (Shading)
01/15/2025 10am PT - Livestream 4 (Full Figure Drawing)
To have a chance at getting a critique you must be a premium student and submit your work before the submission deadline. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee everyone will get a critique but will do my best to address as many submissions as possible.
Don’t worry! After the initial live stream airs, all premium members will have lifetime access to view the critiques.
Critiques will be selected from drawings posted in the assignments tab.
For inclusion in the livestream critique you should submit your drawings at least one week in advance of the scheduled livestream (livestream schedule below).
