We are pleased to share with you a 10-week long class brought to you by Art Mentors! In this class, legendary illustrator Mark Westermoe teaches figure drawing using the Reilly Method. Students will learn how to lay-in the figure, how to simplify and design the anatomy, and how to use light, shadow, and edge control to create 3-dimensional form in their drawings. In this third lesson, Mark finishes up the final stages of his figure drawing. He will introduce half-tones, and will show you how to soften your edges using a paper stump. Mark will also show examples of completed drawings from his portfolio, as well as give a lecture on proportions of the body.
