In week four, you will learn how to draw the shoulders and limbs. Instructor Steve Huston will show you how the shoulders, arms, and legs articulate as he breaks them down into simple shapes for easy understanding. You will learn to refine the simple constructions to build realized forms.
Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
