Contemporary Drawing of the Human Figure

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you so much for joining me on this creative journey. I hope you enjoyed and learned a lot. Above all, I hope that this course has inspired you to start creating your own works. Before we say goodbye, I remind you of the steps I have taken to draw my project. I would like you to also show your process when you share yours. Lace First, fit your drawing. Doing it is very important because it will be when you make the composition of the first lines and it depends on it that you obtain a good final result.

Light and volumes Second, you must take into account the quality of the line to explain the light and volumes of your figure. At this stage, pay attention to how the light spreads over your figure and creates shadows and edges that result in a volume effect. Tonal evaluation As a third step, you should focus on tonal assessment. In this step, make a study of the light that is projected on the objects and that provides the appearance of their main features, their characteristics, shapes and textures. Remember that squinting can help you simplify the visual information to make it easier to organize the values. Shape In this fourth step, do the modeling and define the shape of your figure. Do not forget to always take into account the anatomy of your figure when defining the volume, since, if you do not do so, you could end up with an overmodelling. Final result Lastly, integrate the figure with the background and work on the final finishes. In this process, remember that it is very important that the two elements are in maximum balance. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, sharing your progress as well as asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to go through the forum as much as possible, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you on the forum! ”

“Final Project Now that we're at this point, I hope you've learned a lot and enjoyed the course, but, above all, I encourage you to make your own artwork. The world of drawing is exciting, and I hope you've understood that it's a form of expression with infinite possibilities. I hope you've connected with my creative process, but, above all, that you try to find yours. Look for that state of flow. That's the moment when ideas and materials merge and we lose track of time. You have to be persistent in this search, and, as Picasso said, inspiration exists, but it can only find you when you're ...”
