ON LINE ANATOMY & GESTURE

This class aligns with the FLDOE (Florida Department of Education) CPALMS Standard Course – Figure Drawing (# 0104410)

Figure Anatomy and Gesture Drawing

Take your figure drawing to the next level! Learn human and animal anatomy, portraiture, and dynamic gesture drawing through a kinesthetic approach. Learn how to “see in slow-motion”. Capture movement, energy, and story in a single image—skills practiced by artists at Disney Studios. Perfect for animators, illustrators, and portfolio development.

This class builds on the skills developed in the Drawing Essentials classes and focuses on human proportions, portraiture, and animal anatomy, with a strong emphasis on gesture drawing to create strong, dynamic poses and expressions.

Gesture drawing is essential for artists, as it quickly captures the energy, movement, and essence of any subject—not just humans. Regular practice develops an intuitive understanding of action and form, making it invaluable for animators, illustrators, and artists preparing professional portfolios.

This costumed figure drawing class emphasizes storytelling through a single image and is designed around first-hand techniques taught at Disney Studios, giving students practical, industry-informed instruction.
