Digital Streaming Studio - Evening | Drawing the Human Anatomy

A live online life drawing session focusing on the structure of the human body, and how delving into anatomy can give life to our drawings.

Experience a drawing class like no other.

These evening drawing sessions, broadcast live from the Royal Drawing School studios, are an opportunity for students to experience the dynamic and dramatic possibilities of the life room from home. Join students online from across the globe to draw from the model, theatrical sets, dancers, musicians and more, with something new each week. Using a range of drawing practices, our expert tutors will guide you through a series of exercises over the course of each session.

In this two-hour life drawing session, we will concentrate on the structure of the body with the intention of developing our understanding of how the mechanics of the human form connect and interact.

Through looking at anatomical reference drawings, tutor Marcus Cornish will demonstrate how these internal systems manifest themselves on the surface of the body, and how an understanding of anatomy can help give life to our drawings. All levels welcome.
