This session is dedicated to draw the male figure in a variety of poses using the stereometric volumes, creating quick sketches with dry media on with and /or toned paper. As per all my New Renaissance Atelier courses, the recording of this session will be sent to the students.

The human figure can be incredibly satisfying to draw, provided we understand a few basic but essential characteristics of the body: proportional relationships and volumes.

Drawing the human figure starting with a series of essential volumes that are in a correct proportional relationship makes drawing the figure so much more fun and easier.

This type of conceptualization of the human figure is called Stereometry, but the more colloquial term used is block figures: it is a quite old method, but still very much used by, artists and illustrators.

Bring toned paper of your choice, graphite pencils, charcoal and chalk, colored pencils, kneaded erasers, and pencil sharpeners. You can also use markers or ballpoint pens.
