In this class, we will develop a subtle understanding of the construction of the head, hands, and feet. This will include a study of the planes, axis, and volumes, and the structure of the bones and the muscles to show how they play and interact, creating action and character.
Emphasis on:
• Axis–head positioning and perspective
• A reliable general model
• The planes and volumes
• Alignments and development of facial features
• Personality and Expression
• Practical hands/Hands that express
• Expressive feet/Practical shoes
We will cover:
• The 3 Coordinates©
• A simple symmetrical model of the Head
• Facial features
• Solutions for imperceptible perspective difficulties that can ruin a drawing
• Bones and the muscles–Why it’s important to know them
• Common mistakes with the face that everyone makes
• The neck and its attachment to the head & body
• Light & Tone–modeling form
• Hats and Hair
• The portrait–how drawing somebody, anybody, breaks the symmetry
• Character and Expression
• Caricature–Style and Technique
• The breakdown of 2D and 3D Hands
• Feet–drawing the planes, surfaces, and angles with understanding
The goal is to develop the ability to draw with skill and imagination. There will be lectures, demos, models streaming ‘live’, and personal attention.
All skill levels are welcome.
