In this lesson, Judy Fox focuses on refinement techniques that solidify your sculpture’s structure and bring clarity to its surface. You will address symmetry, refine planes, and clarify transitions between volumes to ensure a cohesive and lifelike sculpture.
In this lesson, Judy Fox guides you through refining volumes and resolving the interactions between anatomical forms. You will explore how major structures of the body, such as the shoulders, chest, and neck, connect and transition smoothly
In this lesson, Judy Fox emphasizes working with planes to simplify and clarify your sculpture’s forms. You will define major anatomical features, such as the face and upper body, while maintaining the gesture’s integrity.
In this lesson, Judy Fox focuses on refining the block-in of your sculpture, observing both external and internal contours. You will learn to measure proportions and angles using vertical and horizontal checks while aligning your viewpoint with the model’s pose.
In this lesson, Judy Fox introduces the foundational principles of sculpting from life, starting with the setup of an armature and the application of the first clay layers. You will develop a measuring eye, learn to observe proportions, and establish the gesture of the model.
In this additional bonus session, you collaborate with Amanda, a model and soprano singer, to explore emotional prompts, anatomy, and dynamic posing. The session highlights the differences between male and female gesture, with Amanda embodying the character of a Gorgon through narrative-driven poses. You’ll witness Patrick’s approach to directing models, reviewing reference photos, and marking anatomical landmarks to guide accurate figure drawing.
In this bonus session, Patrick guides you through the collaborative process of working with Rajiv as a model, emphasizing the importance of storytelling, motivation, and emotion to create dynamic and engaging poses. You’ll explore key concepts such as contrapposto, light sources, and anatomy while learning how to direct models to effectively capture powerful, narrative-driven scenes.
In this lesson, Patrick explores how drawing serves as the foundation for his painting process. Focusing on his piece Valley of the Harpies, he demonstrates how structure, rhythm, and composition established in the drawing shape his choices in color, lighting, and narrative. You’ll learn how elements like chiaroscuro, texture, and edges are built upon initial gestures, with drawing guiding every brushstroke.
In this lesson, Patrick takes on the complex “Gorgon Betrayed” pose, focusing on foreshortening and the anatomical challenges of the figure. Through detailed analysis of the model’s pose, he discusses how agony and revenge can shape the narrative and emotion of a drawing. You’ll explore advanced techniques such as pronation of the hand, rendering, and molding light and shadow to create depth.
