Anatomical Figure in Charcoal

You will be taken step by step through drawing an accurate realistic rendering of a nude figure from observation. You will depict a model in a semi-relaxed posture that will be maintaining the same pose for the duration of the course. Charcoal, one of the most forgiving mediums, will help you express the lifelike vitality of the figure. Learn why European academies preferred charcoal when training their students in the skill of highly realistic drawing. You will learn to construct the pose based on understanding the connections between the position of the feet, pelvis, shoulders, and the neck. You will acquire the skill of anatomical drawing by beginning to see the skeletal structure, muscles and joints, hidden under the skin and create a smooth, beautiful, and highly detailed classic figure drawing. 

Every artistic issue will be explained to help you apply them one-by-one so that you can complete and refine your drawing in five weeks. You will be introduced to the 40 key points: composition, proportions, form, perspective, anatomy, light, shadows, tonality, weight, texture, and more, to help you build the foundational skills of traditional figurative drawing. The instructor will demonstrate each step and provide personalized feedback on how to enhance your drawing and achieve perfect, portfolio-level doneness.

For intermediate and advanced artists. A very powerful addition to your portfolio.
