This course includes:
- 19 step by step video tutorials.
- Original reference images from G Caruso’s own drawings.
- Historical context for techniques learned.

Contrapposto
During the first part of this course you learn the basic structure of the standing figure. As G explains the evolution of Contrapposto in art history, you are introduced to the importance of weight and balance in addition to structure. These foundation principles are then applied to several different poses during step by step video tutorials.
Gesture
Gesture drawing is all about capturing the essence of a pose in an efficient way. G demonstrates several different techniques for gesture drawing using different drawing mediums: graphite, ink and watercolor. A collection of reference images are provided so that you can practice these techniques on a variety of poses at a quick pace. Special attention is given on how to capture movement within a drawing.
Foreshortening
Learn straightforward techniques for managing foreshortening in your drawings. Instead of shying away from difficult poses, allow your instructor G to guide you through the process of understanding and depicting foreshortening.
Facial features, hands and feets
The details are often what make a figure drawing really unique and compelling. Learn the basic structure of smaller more complex figurative elements so that you can employ them for their expressive capacity. Draw hands and feet in an abbreviated yet precise way in a figure drawing context. Draw the nose and eyes by focusing on their shadows and not their outlines, in a portrait drawing context. Discover how these details can bring your figure drawing to the next level.
