Costumed Fantasy Life Drawing

Bookings essential - please visit https://mmhartist.com/product/costumed-fantasy-life-drawing-workshop-26th-may-6-30pm/ for tickets. $35 per person, or book 2 tickets and save $10! Life drawing has long been a foundational practice of classical art and is regarded as the best way to learn to draw the human form. However, most life drawing classes focus on static poses without intention or meaning. These are great for learning human anatomy, but what do they tell you about the character? Teaming up with our talented life models, you will learn traditional life drawing techniques with a focus on capturing models with props, armour, and costumes in fantastical and story driven poses. **In this class, you will:** * Be guided through a fantasy-themed life drawing class with a costumed model * Learn figure drawing techniques * Gain an understanding of human anatomy and how it interacts with a variety of materials * Learn how to effectively pose characters to convey meaning and story **What to bring:** * Your preferred paper and drawing materials, but basic materials are available if needed. * Your awesome self. All skill levels welcome! **What you’ll get:** * An understanding of anatomy, drawing, and posing * Your own artworks to take home * A great experience with likeminded people, hosted in a magical space
