Working from a live model, you will develop a deeper understanding of the human figure through a structured, step-by-step approach.

You will learn to:

  • Observe and draw accurate proportions
  • Understand the construction and structure of the human figure
  • Create convincing three-dimensional form
  • Develop stronger observational drawing skills
  • Understand how light describes form and creates the illusion of three-dimensionality
  • Apply light logic theory to what you observe from life
  • Build a solid foundation for more advanced figure drawing and painting

Drawing the human figure is one of the most challenging and rewarding subjects in art. It has been studied for centuries in academies around the world and remains an essential skill for artists working across many creative fields.

Our structured approach is suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, helping you develop the skills and understanding needed to draw the figure with greater accuracy and confidence.

Figure drawing is a valuable skill for:

  • Fine art and portfolio development
  • Fashion
  • Animation
  • Digital concept art
  • Illustration and other creative industries

All materials provided. Beginners welcome.
