Overview
Join us at Art Escape Studios for an immersive exploration into figure drawing in graphite. This is a new course series in collaboration with JPJ ( Professional and Master Artist Jason Patrick Jenkins).
Throughout this class, you will delve into various strategies and techniques, and become equipped with a procedural method to effectively apply them. Your journey begins with utilising straight lines and angular relationships to establish the scale, location, gesture, and proportion of the figure within abstract spaces. You’ll then transition to employing boxes as abstractions to orient the major masses of the head, rib cage, and pelvis in space, while also exploring the use of C curves and S curves to capture the essence of gesture.
Next, together we will delve into the separation of shapes between light and shadow, utilising techniques such as the terminator and shadow blocking. Conceptual models will aid our understanding of the planar structure of the figure, enabling us to break down the light mass into four distinct calibrated values. Through a brief examination of simplified anatomical models, we’ll deepen our comprehension of form.
As we progress, we’ll focus on developing smaller shapes of value and refining form across each area of the figure, systematically advancing contrast by expanding our value range. Finally, we’ll return to the figure as a whole, fine-tuning the relationship of each area relative to the rest and applying any necessary finishing touches.
By the end of the class, you’ll have acquired a systematic process for constructing and refining a figure drawing, empowering you to strategically apply these skills in your own artistic practice.
This class is excellent for beginners who want to learn and intermediate to advanced students who want to elevate their drawing game!
