In week six, Patrick tackles the concept of “Drawing the Impossible,” using the Amanda pose to explore complex anatomy and rhythm. He delves into the realities of being a working artist, offering advice on staying motivated through small wins in freelance work. You’ll learn about navigating the “plateau” in your artistic growth, the power of visual tricks, and the importance of flexibility—both in gesture and career. By the end of this lesson, Patrick’s demonstrations will guide you through advanced contour techniques and integrating depth into your drawings, encouraging a balanced, evolving approach to your craft.

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