DRAWING TECHNIQUES
BY Skylar
This is my study of Burne Hogarth’s Dynamic Figure Drawing. Burner Hogarth was a large influence on my art style during my time at art school in Dallas. His unique look at the human figure was extremely original and very complex. He will always be considered a legend in human figure drawing and teaching.
Hogarth is a great artist to study for his extreme muscle tones and various poses that go beyond the obvious. He teaches you see things more aggressive and let the imagination of going beyond the limit and still be proportionally correct.
Offering drawing classes from the beginner to advanced, I will share my techniques and training thru a lifetime of learning.
Please keep reading and see for yourself if my classes can offer you the opportunity to enhance your artwork with industry standard techniques, design, and guidance in simple 1.5-hour classes. Each class level will build on the one before allowing you to continue applying levels of techniques.

The basics of drawing rely on a few simple principles. They are the most important part of drawing anything. Learning these basics at first may seem difficult, but applying these principles of drawing, you will start to understand what it takes to go from drawing basic cubes, to full figure studies and beyond.

intermediate techniques
Advanced those basic shapes from Class 1 and create form and continue to build from there! Experiment with different pencil tones. Start with your H-2H for underdrawings and start your shading gradually with HB-3B and all the way up to 10B! Now we can draw everyday objects sketched from the under drawing of simple shapes.

PAINT with emotion and purpose .
The key to successful painting is to make sure you are painting what you feel. Paint how you want not what others want you to paint. You will never achieve what others want. You have to understand what you paint is a reflection of a pursured talent.
