This class is in 4 sections. Working from magazines, you will build your skills, from S1 to S4.

S1: In this session, the focus is on the details of each part of the face: eyes, mouth, nose. The first fundamental to acquire is proportion, and then we’re going to practice the basic male, female proportions as we become familiar with the human form from head to toe, we will also learn all about skin tone.

S2: The stick figure is a universally recognizable symbol, likely one of the most well known in the world. Do you know how to make a tick figure? “From Sticks to Form”, this class is for you. By the end of this course, you will learn to measure the human form from head to toe in a realistic simple way. All models are from magazines.

S3: Figures in motion, moving, running, and sitting. By simply knowing how to measure the human form with its simple stick drawing, you can create a realistic form that is more lifelike. Realistic, natural BELIEVABLE. All figures are from magazines.

S4: July’s four week course is focused on putting everything you learned in creating the complete figure and portrait.
