Animal Drawing Part 1

Regular price $900.00 $0.00

Starting July 24, 2023 

Animal Drawing is a two session course.

 

Part One is a Prerequisite for Part Two.

 

Each week of the class will focus upon a specific part of the body showing it’s basic construction and the anatomy related to it plus examples and demonstrations. The students will focus upon the elements discussed in the lectures, as will the crits. There is considerable overlapping as the various parts of the body are interconnect and a primary element in our drawing is the interaction of the various elements of anatomy in action.

Animal Drawing !

Glenn Vilppu is a master draughtsman and in this class he teaches the student how to take the knowledge of human anatomy and apply it to animals. There are excellent videos and source materials to study from and a wealth of information that allows the student to draw animals that look and move convincingly. It's a great class.

Everything you need to draw animals is HERE. Great course.

Glenn's Animal Drawing Part 1 is definitely the best course that anyone can take if they want to learn how to draw 4-legged animals. There are a lot of art references, YouTube videos and graphic formulas to draw animals, but this course will give you the tools to understand drawing animals from the inside-out. By the end of this course you will know animal anatomy and how to draw animals that are convincing, look grounded and have life. Direct personalized feedback from one the world's greatest drawing instructors, Glenn Vilppu, that itself is priceless.
