    In this lesson, you will learn the laws of light and shadow. Instructor Steve Huston will lecture on how light casts on a figure and helps you visualize the body in three dimensions. You will watch Steve demonstrates how to create graphically pleasing shadow patterns in your figure drawings and explore the benefit of working on toned paper.

    This lesson belongs to the course Constructive Figure Drawing I. During this 7-week course, renowned artist Steve Huston will teach you a powerful and direct method to drawing the human figure. Steve will take you through several concepts to help simplify and demystify the construction of the figure. You will develop a strong understanding of body movement and its structure. You will watch Steve analyze drawings from the Old Masters to learn how they constructed the figures using simple forms and shapes. After this course, you will be able to break down any challenging figurative pose and apply the knowledge you gain here to personal artwork.

    Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
