Silhouette and Highlights on the Figure
-
Learn the power of highlights to sculpt the body. You will be introduced to the two essential tools of the artist: the silhouette and the highlight. We will work from a dark-colored figure and start by creating a black silhouette of the pose, then add white highlights to achieve realistic definitions of musculature.

Essential Drawing Course for Beginners
-
In 12 classes, you’ll learn the techniques of drawing from the beginning. The drawings above are by students who joined this course as absolute beginners. You will build the skills by rendering objects and environments with a teaching method found nowhere else. All drawings will be created in monochrome (black and white) to focus on the basics: light and shadow, line, and dimension.
