In week five, you will learn how to construct a full figure and develop an understanding of its proportions. Instructor Steve Huston will demonstrate how to combine two of the most important elements of figure drawing; gesture and structure. From there, he will teach you how the figure balances itself and how to illustrate that in your own drawings.
