Course Description:

During this ongoing class, students will learn the basics of capturing and recreating the human form with charcoal and pencil. This session will cover the basics of pencil value, anatomy, size, composition, light and shadow value, and much more. Each week we will sketch a live model using basic warm up exercises followed by a different creative method of figure drawing such as drawing without looking at her image, working with negative space and using the eraser as a drawing tool will be explored as well. Models will be draped so ages 16+ are welcome.
