Life Drawing Class (Ciltli)

This is a practical guide to drawing and painting one of the most popular subjects in art - the human figure.

Section one introduces the reader to the basic elements of life drawing, offering advice on: drawing and painting equipment; the basic structure and proportions of the body; constructing the figure from simple shapes; capturing movement; drawing a figure in perspective and working with tone, light and colour; focusing on detail.

Section two builds on what the reader has already learnt, encouraging them to develop a unique style of their own.
