Day 1: Master The Basics. Brian reveals the essentials of linework, circles, ellipses, boxes, and cylinders. Establishing these fundamental skills will unlock the full benefits of the next two lessons.
Day 2: Practice Exercise #1. Get warmed up and establish your skill baseline with three 10-minute figure drawings from provided reference.
Day 3: Pose Analysis. Brian teaches you how to analyze any reference image or live pose. Learn to use comparative measurement, plum lines, angles, and negative shapes to begin each drawing with accurate proportions.
Day 4: Brian's Gesture Method. Brian shows you how to combine everything you’ve learned into a perfectly proportioned gesture drawing. You’ll then learn the next step: adding structure. You’ll learn to construct the forms of the figure in perspective with simplified 3D shapes.
Day 5: Practice Exercise #2. Repeat the skills you’ve learned on your own to solidify the knowledge in your mind and see your progress. You can either re-draw the same reference you draw on day 2 for comparison or you can choose three new poses.
Bonus 60-Minute Lesson: Figure Construction Essentials. Brian will teach you to draw a simple mannequin figure with a female reference pose. You’ll see how 3D forms can put the figure into perspective in a simple way before any additional anatomy or organic forms are added on.
