Figure Drawing Basics: Body Proportions

of all types

Build a foundation for drawing the human figure. Drawing the body can seem complicated when you don’t know how its different parts fit together. This workshop introduces the basics of human proportions and helps you approach the figure through simple shapes, useful landmarks, and careful observation. You will explore the relationships between the head, torso, arms, and legs, as well as how these relationships change depending on a person’s pose. Through guided drawing exercises, you will practice constructing a figure step by step before focusing on the small details. Whether you are new to figure drawing or want to strengthen your fundamentals, this workshop will help you approach the human form with greater understanding and confidence. What you will explore: Basic body proportions: Use the head as a reference to understand the relationships between the different parts of the body. Simple shapes: Break down the torso, pelvis, and limbs into easy-to-understand shapes. Anatomical landmarks: Identify useful reference points such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Posture and balance: Observe how weight and alignment influence a standing figure. Beyond landmarks: Recognize the natural differences between bodies and use observation to adjust your drawing. Build a practical starting point for drawing people, with skills you can continue developing in your own sketchbook. Please note: your booking is confirmed once payment has been made.
