Human Figure Sketching

Description In this class you will learn start to finish how to sketch the human figure. Your instructor, Gerardo Escamilla, will break down each part of the body in individual sessions and demonstrate how to start each part with simple shapes, then add more complex detail on top. In addition to learning how to sketch the smaller, detailed parts of the human figure, like the eyes, nose, mouth and ears, Gerardo will explain how to use three- dimensional thinking in order to draw a figure in an action pose. You will also learn how to add musculature and detail to the torso, hips, arms, and legs. Once you have covered each part of the human figure individually, Gerardo demonstrates how to put it all together to draw a complete human figure.
