Figure Drawing Classes - https://louisguidetti.com/figure-drawing-class/
In this video, I show you a simple drawing exercise anyone can do at home that will dramatically improve your drawing and painting game. I have broken it down into three steps which I have time-stamped below so you can skip to each part. If you want to learn how to draw, this is an excellent short tutorial for you to watch!
The steps I am giving to you are the steps I was taught at the Florence Academy of Art. I will have more interesting videos with much better subjects to paint very soon. I learned from drawing the nude model which is ideal for learning how to draw. I'd like to do more videos on that in the future.
Setup 0:47
Step 1: Mark your extreme points 2:00
Step 2: Block in with straight lines 3:07
Step 3: Fill in basic shadow shape 11:35
Bonus Step 4: Find shapes within shadow shapes (refine): 14:10
Materials I used in this video:
HB Pencil --Harder led than B pencils. Great for lighter areas
B Pencil --Softer led than the HB pencil. Great for darker shadows
Kneaded eraser --Very malleable eraser which increases the accuracy of erasing
Strathmore Sketchbook
How / Why I sharpen my pencil the way I do:
I use an Exacto knife to shave it to a point and then use fine sandpaper wrapped around a wood block to further sharpen the point.
The pencil will stay sharper for longer and you can get finer detail.
