Drawing Michelangelo Livestream

Drawing Michelangelo Livestream

In this livestream, I explore key elements of Michelangelo’s drawing style that can significantly improve the quality of your figure drawing—particularly his use of edges.

Michelangelo’s figure edges are highly complex, filled with micro-angles and subtle shifts. His use of convex lines that roll into the body adds a remarkable sense of form and volume.

In the first part of the livestream, I demonstrate this by copying a section of one of his drawings. In the second part, we apply these techniques to drawing a figure from photo reference.

Drawing The Figure With White Charcoal – Livestream

Drawing The Figure With White Charcoal – Livestream

In this livestream, I’ll be drawing the figure using a combination of black Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil and white charcoal pencil — a great pairing for creating depth, contrast, and subtle form.

First, I’ll start with a full demonstration of how to approach and construct the pose using the black Col-Erase pencil. Then, in the second part of the session, I’ll refine selected areas of the figure with white charcoal to show how to build highlights and enhance the three-dimensional quality of the drawing.

This process is excellent for learning how to balance line, value, and form — whether you’re working traditionally or looking to improve your digital figure drawing skills.

Dylan’s Digital Art & Sketchbook

Dylan’s Digital Art & Sketchbook

They, Them, Their – Dylan is back, sharing work from my Perspective class as well as their sketchbook from Gesture Drawing. They were enrolled in my Foundation Drawing course during the 2023–24 academic year and recently completed my Perspective for Backgrounds class in May 2025.

While Dylan is certainly talented, what stands out most is their work ethic—they’re one of the hardest working students I’ve had the pleasure of teaching. That dedication is clearly reflected in the growth and quality of their digital art. I hope you enjoy exploring both their detailed digital pieces and their expressive gesture sketches.
