Introduction to Figure Drawing, Class #6, The Face

Tuesday, March 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 6 - The Face, Capturing Expression and Character. The human face is a canvas of expression, full of subtle details and emotions. In this final class, you'll focus on the anatomy and proportions of the face, breaking it down into manageable shapes and planes. Learn techniques to draw accurate facial features—eyes, nose, mouth, and ears—and understand how they work together to convey personality. By studying both structure and expression, you'll develop the skills to bring faces to life and add a compelling focal point to your figure drawings.
