The project for this class is tricky. Ideally I would love for people to post figure drawings that they do, but there is one big caveat. In order for this class to be of benefit to you, I would encourage to you to be in some sort of figure drawing class, or at least have some way of working from a model. It certainly isn't mandatory by any means, but it is the best way to learn and apply this information.

If working from a model isn't possible working from photos can certainly work, and I will recommend some book resources that can be of help. Otherwise, the focus of the project should be on simplified block-ins of the figure with a stress of proportions over things like anatomy.

The last thing I will say, is that practicing figures is a long journey. As mentioned previously, theres no way I could cover everything in a single class. I would encourage you to take this class slowly as there is quite a bit to cover, even in simple terms. Figure drawing is a very difficult aspect of drawing, but it can still be a great deal of fun practicing. If anything, please give yourself the time to work on it slowly as it takes a long time to get to any sort of proficiency with it.
