Master the human form, drawing with confidence, skill, & expression

Course Description:
This Figure Drawing Class  is an intensive three-week workshop focuses on the art of drawing the human form. This live and interactive class helps artists build a strong foundation in gesture, proportion, anatomy, and movement—key elements that bring figure drawings to life.

Through a combination of structured lessons, live demonstrations, and critiques, artists will sharpen observational skills and learn techniques to add expression and accuracy to drawings. This figure drawing class is perfect for artists looking to confidently advance their skills for illustration, animation, or fine art.
