In this class, I will introduce you to successfull Human figure Drawing!

I will be giving you a ton of super-valuable information, from the basic stuff like understanding the head as a tool, to more advanced like how to construct the human figure from scratch.

If you have already tried to draw the human figure, and you want to learn how to do it without relying on reference the whole time, you probably know that there needs to be more than just copying.

You will learn the proper mindset, understanding how to breakdown the figure, the importance of proportion, the flow of the limbs, and great-looking variated posing to make your characters look alive.

I'll be your best ally, showing you the dos and dont's, smoothly guiding you through this complex topic.

The same principles taught can be applied to any artstyle, so even if you are not a fan of anime and manga this class will teach you a lot.

By the end of the class you'll be able to draw your own characters from memory, in a natural, thoughtful and skillful way.

So! What are you waiting for? Let's get started!
