I have taken the curriculum I use teaching figure invention and construction for universities and gathered it here. In this course I share my drawing processes and explain how the steps I use to construct a figure are supported and dependent on foundation drawing skills.

What you'll learn

  1. An explanation of the abstract components of drawing (line, shape, perspective) and exercises for building confidence in their use.

  2. An exploration of form intersections, modifications, and additional exercises to allow for the development of complex organic forms.

  3. A description of how even the most advanced subjects is reducible to a basic drawing vocabulary.

    What this course is

    This course is an intensive overview of figure construction, an approach I use for inventing figures in perspective and as foundation for interpreting anatomy. This material represents what I teach at private universities and workshops around the world, and I’ve chosen to gather it here as I find it to be one of the more challenging stages for students. For this reason, I go into the details of drawing mechanics and perspective to provide as much support to students working through this stage.

    The benefits of having these lectures recorded is that they can be reviewed and worked through at your own pace. I have organized my workflow and approach to be broken down into a step-by-step sequence to help support the way you practice and think through your own drawing. I have also included suggested assignments to help support the information and its practice.

    Unfortunately, this is not a replacement for a figure drawing workshop, or a magic course that will make you draw exactly like me. However, I have described a road map and set of steps that if practiced often and understood will get you on your way to inventing figures in space.

I have the book (PDF) version of this course, and it's very informative. While we all learn differently, it definitely offers good information and an easy way to get into figure drawing.
