This year we had a figure drawing workshop with guest artist Tommy van Auken where we learned and practiced techniques for drawing figures from real life, focusing on gesture drawing, composition, and capturing figures, both general and specific images. The course was a good refresher on how to do gesture drawing and capture the weight of a figure and I feel as though I did improve some throughout the brief course, improving my general proportion of figures and better capturing their weight in their movement. I think I was also able to draw lighter as the course went, so that my starting line work was not very thick and I was more easily able to do contour work later on into the drawing as the lines did not start out as thick as they were at the beginning. In the future, and on my own as well, I hope to further work on my proportions in figure drawings as well as hope to practice the interactions of limbs with in a figure, such as how a figure looks when a hand and leg touch as this is something that can be difficult in general so I would like to practice doing this more.
