Learning Figure Drawing: by Ken Manheimer — published Aug 01, 2011 — last modified Jun 30, 2023 05:43 PM — filed under: graphical design, figure drawing
These are from a five day workshop in July, 2005 organized by my friend, Susan Singer, and conducted by a fantastic teacher, Thomas Bosket. Both are terrific artists, as were the others in the class - I was the neophyte. I was surprised by what i was able to do early on, with pastels, and did not expect how much I was eventually able to do with pencils. I was also surprised and delighted by the depth of attention that figure drawing demands and rewards.

One evening a few days in the students modelled for each other. I was exhausted, but hung out and tried to draw with a pencil. Maybe the exhaustion helped - i followed Tom's instructions to look at the subject, not the drawing, and was happily suprised when i eventually looked down.
