Overview

If you’ve been struggling to learn to draw anatomy — this is the class for you.

In this 10-week long anatomy course you will learn the foundational anatomical structures that will serve as the building blocks for an intuitive approach to figure drawing.

Through a series of demos, exercises and homework assignments, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the world of anatomy — all while keeping it simple and practical.

By the end of this course, you will have gained the knowledge to construct and navigate the forms of the human body with intuition and ease.

What People are saying

The class struck the perfect balance between theory and practice, using techniques and concepts we could start applying right away. The daily practices were incredibly helpful in reinforcing what we covered during each session, and the weekly assignments neatly wrapped up every topic. Having a video to draw along with was invaluable, as it helped me understand the mental processes and decision-making involved in completing the assignments. All the resources, including the drawings, were an amazing reference. The feedback, however, was probably the most valuable part. It helped me identify things I wouldn’t have noticed on my own, and the suggestions provided were extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks, Alex! I’m excited to continue my life drawing practice and keep learning!

Alfredo

I had a blast learning drawing techniques that go beyond just anatomical knowledge. My dexterity with a charcoal pencil improved greatly. I'm now able to vary line weight, differentiate between hard and soft edges on anatomical forms, and group various structures within a single shape or line, creating more unity in my drawings. The handouts are very well-designed and kept me motivated to keep drawing throughout the week. The weekly themes encouraged me to expand my repertoire by drawing things we don't always have time to focus on in traditional life drawing (such as bones, hands, feet, etc.). A lot of information was covered, with different approaches to tackling drawing challenges. I learned to distinguish between what’s anatomically or medically accurate versus what’s artistically true, and how to simplify and highlight key elements that bring life to the figure. As always, Alex is very generous with his time and teaching. The handouts are incredibly useful for continuing practice and learning beyond the course!

Jean-Patrick

Found this course extremely useful! Alex is a terrific artist who knows his stuff, has worked hard to get to the level he's at, and does a great job breaking the body's complexity into manageable chunks. His illustrated handouts make for amazing reference material, and his individualized feedback was a huge plus. Warm, welcoming environment with a bunch of great classmates.

Rich

This 10-week course has helped me gain a new level of understanding on how the human anatomy works, building forms, complex structures and applying it to human figure drawing. Thank you Alex for being such a supportive mentor, your expertise has helped me elevate my skills and I’m truly grateful!!!

Evy

An incredible course on anatomy. It really helped me solidify my basic knowledge of anatomy and how to draw it. The course has very good targeted assignments that will help any artist reach the next level in their drawings.

Expected Workload

The recommended workload is 3-6 hours per week for homework, with a strong emphasis on consistent daily practice (30min-1hour per day) rather than cramming everything before class. That being said, every student is responsible for their own effort - the more you put in, the more you get out.
