In order to Master Essential Folds, Costume and Character we’ll be drawing with clear-cut ideas of the active folds, observing and exploring how they work and participate in expressing action. We’ll address the confusions, cover the role of passive folds, wrinkles, design & shape, and have in depth sessions on costume as character.
The goal is to develop the ability to draw with skill and imagination. There will be lectures, demos, figure models streaming ‘live’, and personal attention. All skill levels are welcome.
