[image_with_animation image_url=”9505″ alignment=”” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”] This is the fifth part of a multi day series, sharing work by my beginning figure drawing classes. Many of these students have never taken a drawing class before, nearly all of them are new to figure drawing. Rather than learning one style, we study a different approach every session. We’ve done straight line measures, site sizing, envelopes, kites, mass shapes, shadows, gestures, contours, volume, cross-hatching, and more.
Today’s drawings are studies of mass, volume, and weight. Artists were encouraged to show that the figure is round, or heavy. These have an impressive sculptural look to them. You can see a few indications of some quick straight line measures to sketch out the proportions before going diving in to the volume.
