Graphic artist Fred Jordan teaches figure drawing; a class intended for anybody who is interested in learning how to draw the human figure correctly and improving their drawing abilities. Figure drawing is an exercise of drawing the human body in its various shapes and positions. It is one of the most difficult subjects you will encounter as an artist. Not only is figure drawing rewarding all in itself, but it is considered valuable groundwork for many other areas of work in the art related fields such as portraiture, comic book illustration, sculpture, medical illustration, and other fields that use depictions of the human form. Not only is figure drawing one of the most challenging forms of the arts it is also one of the most important. Figure drawing establishes the importance of seeing the figure. We will explore many techniques and methods used to achieve depth, proportion, and balance when drawing the human figure. The student will come out of the class with a clear and simple understanding on how to create lifelike drawings of the human figure. * Document your course completion with an online certificate (additional shipping/handling charges apply for hard copy delivery).
