Master anatomy, proportion, and flow to capture movement, structure, and poses with confidence.

This course helps you build solid figure drawing skills by breaking the body into simple, understandable forms. You’ll practice dynamic poses, refine proportions, and create drawings that feel realistic and full of life. Designed for mid-level artists ready to level up, it blends technical anatomy with creative expression. Guided by mentors and supported by peers, you’ll join a collaborative jam session and complete portfolio-ready studies that showcase your growing mastery of the human form.
