I love this course because I got introduced to different methods and the process of painting as well as its relationship with drawing. The 'building up' / glazing method taught in the course gave me the experience of being both a painter and a sculptor which is amazing. I think Glenn's approach to painting (with glazing and not too constrained by the 'outlines') is very freeing and helps me realise that painting is not about making precise matching harmonious colour blocks. I used to think head structure and painting are complicated and get intimidated by them but now I actually think that head painting is the easiest kind of drawing/painting for me. This is a very nice course.
Week 8 In this video on using photos in drawing or painting heads I discuss some of the basic pitfalls and problems in the use of photographs in drawing heads. The assignment will be a drawing of the head from a photograph.

This course covers the fundamentals of drawing (art materials, how to see/draw value, measure, how to shade forms with ambient and direct lighting and more). The approach taught is very practical (starting with thumbnails) while tying into knowledge from the Old Masters (Master studies). A broad range of subject matters are covered (still life, landscape, head drawing, animals etc.) as the overall approach to drawing applies to all subject matters. How to use reference materials (especially photographic references) is also discussed. There are weekly video lessons with assignments which can be submitted for review on a weekly basis. Glenn critiques the assignments personally and is able to give very helpful advice on where improvements can be made and also what worked well in the drawing. There is a surprising amount of knowledge to be gained through the course. The lessons are very helpful and I definitely learned a lot from working on the assignments. Wherever your starting point, you're likely to make progress and improve your artwork through this course. There are also weekly drawing demos by Glenn and students can submit any questions they have which will be answered every week. Glenn has a lot of practical experience drawing and working in the industry. It's very interesting to listen to his observations, anecdotes and words of wisdom. He definitely knows his craft and overall, this course is great for learning and strengthening the fundamentals of drawing.

After going through anatomy, look up some FORCE gesture videos on TouTube (Proko has good interviews). Learn how to exagerate gesture beyond your reference pose. This is helpful to stretch drawing from your imagination, and avoid stiff drawings.
The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. From profile, this plane will be a perfect circle, but when drawing it from any other angle, it will appear to be an oval because of perspective. Divide this oval into quadrants. The vertical line represents the beginning of the jaw. The horizontal line represents the brow line. The top and bottom of the oval help you find the hair line and the bottom of the nose.
In this first lecture of a series focusing on human anatomy as it relates to figurative art, figure painter and instructor Charles Hu discusses key skeletal and muscular landmarks along with methods for maintaining the correct proportional relationships between the various structures of the human body. Throughout the lecture, Charles refers to skeletal reference to illustrate how skeletal elements not only connect, but more importantly, how these structures move in relation to one another, providing a clear roadmap for maintaining correct proportional relationships in your figure drawings. Charles begins with an initial "mechanical" representation of the human form from the front view. He first discusses the basic proportions and structures of the human head. As the human head is often used as the base unit of measurement in figure drawing, the important landmarks and relationships between the brow region, eye sockets, cheek bones, nose, mouth and chin will be explored in great detail. After blocking in the head, the neck and shoulder area is discussed before moving down to the chest, stomach and pelvis regions. Again, key structural landmarks are discussed in order to understand the anatomical, structural, and proportional importance of each. Charles then moves on to discuss arms and legs, along with correct proportional guides for laying in key elements like elbows, wrists, knees and ankles. Once completed with the anatomical sketch from the front view, he moves onto the drawings from both the back and side views, providing a clear and comprehensive study of the base human form. Suitable for all artists developing their understanding of the figure and its complex anatomical relationships, this lecture and demonstration is an immersive and critical foundation.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn to draw the human head. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced drafts-person, painter, or sculptor it pays to have solid fundamentals of head drawing and construction.
Join renowned artist Steve Huston as he teaches you a direct and powerful approach to drawing the human head and portrait. This beginner-friendly course leaves nothing out of the process. You will learn how to visualize the head as simple three-dimensional forms, how to design the shapes and lines of the head and how to deal with anatomy, rendering, expression, aging, characterization and hair.
Besides the human head and face, hands are the difficult subject matter to create in art. Many artists resort to drawing hands very simply and gesturally or even avoid showing hands in their work altogether! Join Kamille Corry, Steve Huston, and Glenn Vilppu in this comprehensive course and stop hiding those hands in your work!
In this drawing course, the late Mark Westermoe teaches you the famous Reilly Method of drawing the head, hands, and figure. The Reilly approach is a constructive/graphic hybrid that emphasizes line and shape design and clear value control. This approach has become popular among professional illustrators as well as for fine art applications.
This course introduces the lower leg and foot, the thigh and gluteals, the back, the torso, the arm, the head and neck, and finally the anatomy of master artists (the anatomy they drew, not their own bodies!). No assignments or practicals are assigned; self-implied practice required.
Learn about advanced gesture and construction of the head as well as anatomy, planes, expressions, sex and age differences and characterization in this comprehensive course. This course is over 48 hours long! 2ff7e9595c
