Join this 2-part course over 9 weeks and learn to sketch figures comfortably.
In the works since early 2023, this Etchr Studio 9-class figure drawing course is ready to launch!
I'm super excited to introduce you to my new courses with Etchr: Figure Drawing Fundamentals, in two parts! You can purchase both parts separately or in a bundle for a discount. Etchr Studio subscribers have free access to the whole course. Classes will be broadcast weekly, but everything will be recorded and available for you to watch later.
Part 1
5 Classes: Sep. 6, 13, 20, 27 (Wednesdays) and Oct. 3 (Tuesday)
1 Live Feedback Session: Oct. 10 (Tuesday)
Time: 2pm EST, 7pm Lisbon (WEST)
This is the first segment of a two-part structured course guided by a curriculum designed by artist Pedro Loureiro. This course is broken down into five 1-hour long classes which run from September 6th to October 10th for an optional live feedback session. The live classes will be streamed once a week. Please refer to Etchr’s upcoming live events for the schedule.
Learn how to capture the energy and likeliness of people. From quick sketches to full-coloured pieces, understand how to loosely draw the human form and breathe life into your art through colour, shadow and light.
At the end of this course, you'll be fully equipped to draw and paint anyone from life or photo.

This class is for absolute beginners starting their art journey.

I'm really hoping this course is engaging and fun for you! A lot of work was put in planning, organizing and producing this content, and I couldn't have done it without the great people behind Etchr Studio! Special props to Kitty, Kathleen, Camille, Jericka, and of course Ânia!
I'm looking forward to see you all there and answering all your questions. See you soon!
