In this beginning figure drawing course, you’ll learn the exciting art of gesture drawing. Gesture drawing is one of the most important, but least understood parts of the figure drawing process, but Instructor Brent Eviston will guide you through the figure drawing process with the same award-winning instruction and hands on projects that have made his other drawing courses bestsellers.

This course brings the figure drawing studio to you by providing master instruction and timed practice poses for you to draw from. Once enrolled you’ll learn from numerous anatomical diagrams, detailed drawing demonstrations and hundreds of photographs of a fully nude model.

This course contains 12 lessons, each filled with essential figure drawing techniques. Each lesson contains at least one practice reel with times poses specifically chosen so you can get the most out of the lesson they accompany.

By the end of this course you’ll be able to do gesture drawings that stand alone as works of art as well as lay the foundation for more detailed figure drawings

***Because this course features photographs of a fully nude model, it is important that you conduct yourself maturely and appropriately in the course.***

For more gesture practice check out Gesture Drawing Explorations: Expressive & Experimental Figure Drawing. In this brand new course you’ll be introduced to three different kinds of gesture drawing: straight line studies, elliptical modeling and dynamic exaggeration. Each kind of gesture drawing will challenge you to experience the figure in new and unique ways that will ultimately improve your figure drawing overall.
