Stream on composition

If you want a better grip on composition, I recommend watching this stream. We draw, we joke around, and we build interesting subjects out of abstract shapes :)

Drawing the figure is a tricky thing, but an interesting one. In this two-hour stream recording I show and explain how to build a study of the female figure from scratch.

There’s only a week left before the marathon! So that the time isn’t wasted and you can prepare and steadily sharpen your understanding of composition, rhythm and the structure of a piece, here’s a lecture with a composition breakdown of Viktor Vasnetsov’s paintings.

Stream recording. Drawing a simplified portrait

Hi! And I’d be glad if you wrote in about the difficulties you run into when drawing the portrait or the figure — which topic should I cover next? ✨

Stream recording. Value and color in drawing the female model

Hi, friends! Two days left before the lady drawing marathon. I’m really glad to see so many participants — there are already about 200 of us 🔥 I decided to post the recording of the stream I ran at the beginning of the week, about value and color in drawing the female model. Watch it, it’ll come in handy for the marathon! I’ll run the feedback streams on Sundays, and on Mondays there will be useful streams where I break down the topic and draw. The first assignment appears here on Monday, February 26. So get your paper and pencils, your stylus and tablet ready — let’s bring the heat and pull spring a little closer 😉✨

Live stream recording. Quick sketches of the female figure

Hi everyone! I ran a stream drawing quick sketches of the female figure. If you missed it, here’s the recording! A reminder that practicing sketches helps you find the general connecting vectors that hold the whole composition of a drawing together. But it’s very important to choose your subject well — a good angle, a good silhouette. Draw and share your results on your social media!
