In this narrated figure drawing demo I describe everything in detail and talk about my thought process as I progress through each stage of the drawing.

I talk about measuring the layin to get correct proportions, constructing the anatomical forms, shadow mapping to prepare for the tone, and then I work on the general tonal composition and “paint” in the tones using charcoal powder and a brush. Finally going through each part of the body and shading in the tones to reveal the 3d forms and details.

This lesson also includes a critique of a real student's drawing.
