Skilled draftsman and art tutor David Tenorio walks you through the basic steps of finding the gesture of a pose, identifying the moving parts, and finding proportion and volume to complete your figure. From sharpening your pencil to finishing a complete study, this class will give you the skills to draw human figures both from images and from life. Class includes a PDF download with a variety of human modeling poses so you can draw along with David while he teaches.

I loved this. I am typically terrible at drawing people, but my figure came out looking pretty darn good. The only thing proportionally I wished he went through in the class was face proportions. Hairline to chin/eyes etc.

I think David is super knowledgable and I totally enjoyed his class. I really want to practice using his sketching and drawing style. I am lacking that big shape sketcky style so it will be good for me to learn. I think it will help my drawing tremendously. Thank you David and Creativebug for this class.
