about the course
What will you learn?
This Constructive Figure Drawing course will highlight the essential strategies involved in breaking down the human body, first into simple shapes then into more complex structures so you can build up an anatomically correct drawing with proper depth and perspective.
You will learn advanced techniques for constructing your drawings from the inside out by gaining a deep understanding of the skeleton and muscular system and their relationship to the visible surface of the human body.
By the end of this class, you will have greatly increased your figure drawing skills and your ability to construct human figures from imagination. Your understanding of the anatomical structure and figure construction will have greatly increased giving you the ability to accurately render human figures from reference and imagination.

- Weeks 1 & 2:Gain proficiency in the block-in technique through a series of simple exercises designed to teach you to effectively simplify and construct figures from life.
- Weeks 3 & 4: Become proficient in representing the major masses of the human body as a combination of measured cubic, spherical and various curvilinear forms so you can represent the human body and its major structures from imagination with proper volume, depth and proportion.
- Week 5: Learn how to visualize the head as a series of planes to best understand form and lighting so you can accurately construct and render the human head from imagination.
- Week 6: Learn how the skeletal and muscular systems interact with the pose to create the surface features of the body that you need to represent in your drawing.
- Week 7: Learn how light describes form and creates volume so you can apply correct shading to any figure that you construct and render it to look 3-dimensional.
- Weeks 8 to 10: Become proficient in rendering techniques such as hatching and graining so your finished drawings appear realistic and lifelike. Finally, combine all that you’ve learned to construct a full figure and render it exquisitely.
