Livestream Figure Drawing Session

Livestream Figure Drawing Session

by | Jul 19, 2025 | Livestreams

In this livestream I will be focusing on drawing the figure using the Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil on white Stratmore drawing paper. I will break down this pose for you in multiple ways.

During the first part of the stream I will be teaching you how I warm up before drawing. We will then dive into thinking about how to see the figure in three basic shapes. I will then progress onto drawing the figure.

Later on in the livestream I share with you some of my older artworks. This was a fun stream. I hope you will enjoy it. I know I did.

I worked on the drawing below for roughly 1:45.

Under-Drawing Critique – Avoiding Overwhelm

Under-Drawing Critique – Avoiding Overwhelm

by | Jan 21, 2020 | Video Critiques

Arjun recently uploaded an under-drawing for a critique over in the members area of Drawing Tutorials Online. He mentioned in the comment section of the post that he was feeling a bit overwhelmed with starting.

There is so much to think about when starting to draw the figure for an under-drawing. Proportions, gesture, anatomy as well as light and shade are just a few techniques to consider. I can see where an artist can become overwhelmed, especially when trying to do their best work.

What I do my best to show in this short little video, is a sequence of techniques. Where I like to start, as well as secondary options for starting. I also talk to the importance of using continuous line towards the end of the video.

Also, Arjun was using blind contour, I recommeded using blind contour for just a short period of time, like two seconds. I would save the pure blind contour for a longer thirty-second exercise.
