Figure Drawing Livestream – Long Pose

Figure Drawing Livestream – Long Pose

by | Jun 27, 2025 | Drawing Tutorials | 0 comments

In this live stream we tackle one pose. First, we break down the pose demonstrating multiple figure drawing techniques. We then dive into drawing the pose from scratch. Instead of using my trusty Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil, I worked with a found mechanical pencil. I do believe that the graphite was HB or B.

I worked on Strathmore 400 series 80 LBS paper. After the live stream I worked on the drawing for an hour and a half. If you like spending time on just one drawing, this lesson is for you.

This live class was held on August 22, 2020. The focus of this class was to say that there are many ways to start a portrait drawing. In this class I started with the eye.

Starting a portrait drawing from the eye is a great option. It’s called spiraling out from a place that you understand.

It’s important that you take some time to practice portrait drawing using diverse technique. This way you will find the one that works best for you.

How To Draw The Figure In Ten Minutes

How To Draw The Figure In Ten Minutes

Well, here we are in this strange situation, Covid-19. I have basically turned off the news and have resorted to watching Tiger something on Netflix.

I have been super busy with this whole live class thing. Primarily teaching my college classes on Zoom. I have also been teaching live classes to members of DTO every Saturday.

Come mid to late April I will be teaching live classes to non-members of Drawing Tutorials Online. I’ve been working out the kinks in recording on Zoom. The quality is not great.

In the meantime I wanted to share with you this gesture drawing. I think you will most certainly get something out of watching this short figure drawing tutorial.

Please let me know if you have any questions about my technique.

 

 

 

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and visit. Stay safe.
