Humans are some of the most expressive and interesting subjects to draw, but at the same time they can seem intimidating and complex to portray.

The bulk of the class will be focused on practice of drawing different types of gestures and poses using a simple method. Being comfortable with quickly sketching human figures in various postures can be useful in sharing ideas, storyboarding, storytelling, and illustration – it's fun and anyone can do it! Learn how to draw simple and expressive human figures that portray different poses, movements, and emotions, and you’ll be ready to add these to any project or doodle.
