Introduction to Figure Drawing, Class #2, Mastering Proportions

Tuesday, February 11 from 5:30-8pm

Introduction to Figure Drawing at 3 Square Art is a six-week course designed to provide artists with essential skills for drawing the human form. Starting with dynamic gesture drawing, it covers proportions, anatomy, and detailed studies of hands, feet, and the head. Students learn techniques like gesture sketching, geometric structuring, contour drawing, and shading.

Class 2 - Mastering Proportions, Unlocking the Secrets of Balance. Tired of figures that look disproportionate? This session tackles the art of measuring the human form with precision. Using the head as our unit of measure, you'll learn to scale the entire body accurately. We'll explore how to place features and limbs in harmony, ensuring your drawings stand tall and true to life. Practice will be hands-on, as we draw and refine our figures, aligning them with classical proportions.
