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.
