Figure drawing exercises: gain more confidence in these 3 steps

In this class, I’ll walk you through 3 tried and tested drawing exercises, exercises that helped both me and my students over many years to develop better drawing confidence and have fun time doing the work needed to be better at drawing.

Together, and through these exercises, we’ll explore different approaches to encourage more confident drawing, discuss habits that can help put you in the best place to draw with much more ease and finally share some tips from the technical side of this creative process.

Exercises that we'll be doing are:

• Worm up exercise putting your imagination and creativity to work and just having fun with lines.
• Exercise of simplifying shapes
• and eventually turn things on it’s head so to speak with the final exercise to give you a slightly different perspective on how to approach your drawing.

All that’s left after that is to create a final figure drawing as a sort of test, exam if you like, of skills you sharpened in this class. And… for those of you who want even more there's a bonus segment at the and the class, all about shading objects.

Who is this class for and why:

• If you're brand new to drawing or you haven't picked up a pencil in years, then this class is a great foundation from which to start building your drawing skills and having some fun.
• If you're a beginner keen to build killer drawing skills, then this class is going to equip you with some tools that will be amazing complement to those more technical sides of learning to draw.
• If you're a seasoned artist or illustrator, then this class would be a great workout for your drawing skills. It can really help you to just let go and have fun, especially if you're feeling a bit stuck or you feel like you've hit a creative block.

By the end of the class:

• you’ll have a set of drawing exercises that you can return to, again and again, whenever you feel you need to freshen things up.
• You will develop better drawing confidence and have fun time drawing.

Essentially, drawing is a great way to relax, it is an amazing communication tool and of course an essential skill if you want to work in the creative field. But, to get the most of your drawing it has to be fun. My hope is that I have provided you with that in this class.
