Drawing People

A Spring Workshop

*To better fit student schedules, this offering is now a 3 hour online workshop

Some things about humans drawing humans:

Drawing humans is HARD (unless you are some kind of crazy drawing protégée, in which case, congrats).
Drawing humans is ENTICING. We’re so much more interested in drawing humans than, say, lampshades (too bad for us, because lampshades are way easier to draw).
Getting better at drawing humans makes you better at drawing all sorts of things (no time you spend drawing is ever wasted).

Some things about this class:

We will draw a lot
It will meet on Zoom
No matter what level you’re at, this class will help you develop your skills in drawing the human body
We’ll explore your own particular voice and style as it relates to figure drawing
Materials are simple: a sketchbook or paper (a stack of plain printer paper will do), and any pens or pencils you like drawing with
If you’ve taken a figure drawing class with me before - will this class be repetitive? Well, the basics of anatomy remain the same since the last time we talked, but, in my experience, any repetition of these concepts is usually quite helpful, and more drawing time always is. I learned anatomy through repetition, and recommend returning to the same concepts as many times as feels right to you

A thing about me:

I’m a professional cartoonist and humorist for the New Yorker and other magazines. I’ve illustrated books, I draw a ton and teach a lot and generally find creativity to be one of the less absurd ways to spend your time on this earth. More about my teaching here.
