What this lesson is about

Hi!

This video is about drawing the clothed figure. For the reference I picked a high-contrast lady with bold forms.

Where do we start? Those of you who watch and listen to my lessons closely know that the first thing to do is to understand and outline the silhouette, to land the forms. Only after that do we refine the proportions and work up the details — they’re exactly what makes a drawing interesting and expressive.

You can follow along with me or, if you feel confident, take a different reference as your base.
