Fearless Figure Drawing: Use Stick Figures to Draw Human Bodies

If you can draw a stick figure, you can draw a human body.

Clothed figure drawing (the art of drawing people) can be one of the most challenging art skills to develop, but drawing people can also be simple, accessible, and fun. In this class, we'll break the figure drawing process down into three approachable steps: creating our frame with stick figures, fleshing out the body with simple shapes, and adding details like clothes and hair.

No previous drawing experience is required for this class; all you'll need is a pencil and paper. By the end of the class, you will have created five simple figure drawings, and will have tools and resources to continue your sketching practice. Let's get drawing!
