Do you love figure drawing, but you often feel like your figures lack life?

Do you wish you could be more loose and expressive in your drawings?

What if you could fix “flat drawings” once and for all; what if you could tap into your flow state for drawing every time you draw ….And what if you kew that every time you draw, you are fully expressing your unique and personal drawing language?

One of the biggest challenges that many figure drawing artists face, is being able to draw loose, expressive and dynamic figures.

All too often we get stuck trying to draw the human body "correctly", and this leads to stiff and formulaic figures.

The trick to breaking free from dull, lifeless drawings is to completely change up your line quality and mark-making. In this class, through 4 seemingly simple exercises, you will discover the freedom of drawing in a loose and expressive style. You'll learn how to do this, not by getting good at making smoother, straighter lines..... but by letting go of control, and allowing your line to be messy, uncontrolled and different!

Did you know??...

You can completely change how you draw, by simply HOLDING your pencil differently.
You can radically and immediately improve how you observe by NOT looking at your drawing
You can learn to trust your lines, and trust that your hand and eyes are ALL you need to make unique, powerful and TRUTHFUL drawings

The basis for all of this comes down to one simple technique - of letting go of control over your line. And, this technique has one other powerful side effect, besides producing a more dynamic line language.

It almost immediately puts you into a concentrated, creative, intuitive and responsive mind-state: a state in which drawing feels free flowing, easy and enjoyable.

This is the FLOW STATE FOR DRAWING.

This is something you can learn to engage by yourself, and to literally turn it on whenever you need to.

For beginner, and developing figure drawing artists, being aware of this creative and responsive mode of drawing is as important, as studying anatomy and proportion.
