Intermediate and Advanced Drawing:

An easy way to learn to draw the humanl figure is by drawing the figure from a back view on on of the altered sketchbook pages.

You may use an image from the internet as your source. Focus on the contour first and block in your initial drawing in pencil. Model the shading in pencil and or pen to create a more developed drawing FULL PAGE. Due: Jan. 29th Beginning of class
