Introduction1:26
Explore figure drawing from beginner to advanced, learning anatomy, sketching methods, and shading techniques; study male and female anatomy, muscle structure, athletes, and clothed figures.
Tools0:49
Learn about the essential tools for this course, including an ab6 sketching pencil, an etd eraser, a normal pencil, and dirt erasers; later sessions cover proportions.
Types of figure drawing14:30
Apply an eight-head proportion method to map the head, neck, shoulders, chest, and pelvis. Adapt these measurements into normal and angular figure styles, detailing elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, and hands.
Continuation of types of figure drawing3:30
Learn the linear method for figure drawing, building from the head to the feet using joints, a central line, and hip and leg construction as one of three ways.

Learn to draw a sitting woman in a side view and a three faces view, constructing the head to pelvis and shading for volume and contrast.
Draw a sketch of the back figure of a man13:24
Create a back view of a male figure by building a simple figurine, outlining the spine and back muscles, and mirroring anatomy for symmetrical shoulders and hips.
Shading and hatching of muscles14:28
Master shading and hatching of back muscles and torso with layered pencil tones, highlighting curves from the neck to the hips and practicing self-checks as you work.
The end of shading and hashing8:21
