The Art & Science of Figure Drawing: GESTURE – Course Content

In this beginning figure drawing course, you’ll learn the exciting art of gesture drawing. Gesture drawing is one of the most important, but least understood parts of the figure drawing process, but Instructor Brent Eviston will guide you through the figure drawing process with the same award-winning instruction and hands-on projects that have made his other drawing courses bestsellers.

This course brings the figure drawing studio to you by providing master instruction and timed practice poses for you to draw from. Once enrolled you’ll learn from numerous anatomical diagrams, detailed drawing demonstrations, and hundreds of photographs of a fully nude model.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to do gesture drawings that stand alone as works of art as well as lay the foundation for more detailed figure drawings.

The course comprises 37 lectures organized into 12 lessons as follows:
