This course is designed for beginners! Learn how to draw the human figure with Gaby Nighan, a classically trained artist.
Gaby will guide you through every step of a drawing, starting with gesture and proportion in the first session and finishing with shading in later sessions. Gaby will break down the complex process of figure drawing into simple, concrete steps. You will gain knowledge to help you become self-sufficient in your drawings. You will leave with a drawing you’re proud of! Live demos and individual critiques from the instructor are included in each session.
Knowledge required

What to bring
