Welcome To Beginner Figure Drawing! The ultimate online course for complete beginners that aspire to draw the human figure
My name is Robert Joyner and Im a full-time artist from beautiful Virginia Ive been painting and teaching for over 15 years and Im thrilled to bring this in-depth figure drawing course to you via SkillShare
This class has been carefully constructed and includes a step-by-step approach that will build confidence without getting overwhelmed If you can draw a circle square and rectangle then you are more than qualified to take this course
OVERVIEW
Section One: Gesture & Structure
These are the ultimate building block for your drawings Unlike many figure courses gesture is used in a very unique way Instead of drawing stick figures we will use it to locate and draw the lovey curves that make up the body Each pose has many gestures and you will quickly discover how to find them
Structure is used to add volume and depth to each gesture This makes the gestures more dynamic and allows you to sculpt each area of the body using simple forms and volumes
Section Two: Body Parts
This is a complete breakdown of the main body parts including the head neck ribcage waist pelvis arms shoulders legs and feet You will learn easy ideas for drawing each part using gesture & structure!
Section Three: Proportions
You will learn to develop a general model for understanding the front back and profile views Plus we will discuss some key similarities and differences between male and female bodies
Section Four: Final Assignment
Here you will put your knowledge and skills to the test There is a practice reel that includes four poses each one is six minutes long To make it even better I will complete the same exact practice reel so you have something to compare your work to!
As you can see this is the perfect lesson plan for beginners!
