subscribers only1:38:32Marathon week two. Stream recording: “Structural connections, the compositional grid and lines of force”
Hi, friends! Week two of our marathon is devoted to the topic "Structural connections, the compositional grid and lines of force." Come along — we’ll work out what it is, what it’s for and how it helps an artist, and then we’ll run it all through our hands and get a good amount of drawing done! If you can’t join, don’t worry: I’ll publish the recording of the teaching stream here 🙂✨

Hi again! Here’s the recording of yesterday’s stream! A reminder: your task is to do two to four body parts of your choice, using hatching and what you’ve learned about value in the previous topics. References are attached to this post. I’ve shifted the feedback and final stream dates a bit so you have more time to finish everything: December 25 at 21:30 — feedback on the sixth marathon assignment December 28 at 20:00 — marathon results announced 🔥 Good luck! ✨

subscribers only1:02:47Final stream recording. Marathon “Sketching the Clothed Figure”
Hi! Congratulations to everyone on finishing another figure drawing marathon. On Friday I ran the final stream, we went through your brilliant work and had a good talk — posting the recording here for anyone who couldn’t join live or wants to rewatch 🙂 The marathon may be over, but let’s not be sad: there’s plenty more to do together ahead! On the intensive we’ll draw a lot together, work on color, anatomy and proportions, and I’ll share all kinds of little secrets and show techniques in digital painting. For busy people an intensive is a great format for getting into one narrow but very interesting topic, and for anyone who hasn’t studied with us yet it’s a good excuse to try. See you soon, friends! Stay in touch ✨

subscribers only2:21:59Live stream recording. "Sketching the Clothed Figure" marathon. Week 2: The figure in drapery
Hi to everyone taking part in our summer marathon! Sharing the recording of yesterday’s stream, where I first go through the theory of how drapery works on the figure and then draw a sketch from one of the refs. And I muse about the point of drawing, about rest, and much else — that’s the huge value of these streams, that we can not only make beautiful things but also chat 😎✨
