Shading is the most sought after figure drawing skill. If you can shade basic volumes like spheres and cylinders, this course will teach you how to use those same skills to shade the human body. Youll be led step by step through the figure shading process from simple light and shadow patterns to highly rendered anatomical details. In addition to Brents award winning instruction* this course includes a set of 100 photographs of beautifully lit, fully nude figure models. These photographs were created specifically for this course and will provide hours of shading practice. This course also includes high resolution images of Brents original drawings for you to study. Each lesson in this course focuses on a specific step of the shading process. At the end of each lesson youll be given a specific exercise. By the end of the course youll have your own fully shaded and rendered figure drawing. Because this course features photographs of fully nude models, it is important that you conduct yourself maturely and appropriately in the course. This is a challenging, intermediate level figure drawing course. It is highly recommended that you complete Brents Gesture course as well as his Volume & Structure course before taking this course*Brent was honored as one of Udemys Best New Instructors of 2017.
