The goal of figure drawing (also known as life drawing) is to capture the essence of the human form – its muscles, texture, postures, and movement. In a life drawing co-op we practice seeing and drawing forms, proportions, perspective, shading, and other essential art fundamentals. Drawing a figure from life is a unique challenge, and the camaraderie that comes from working with other artists in the same space is wonderful!
