This Doesn’t Have To Be Scary.

**Figure drawing** can be a *haunting* challenge -

But “**quick sketch**” provides a tremendous solution!
It *improves your people drawing skills*, is *fun* & a great way to *connect with other artists*.

Quick sketch figure drawing sessions consist of short poses, ranging from 2 to 20 minutes.

Learning is mostly about repetition & this exercise allows for an extraordinary amount of practice in a short amount of time; often 12+ finished pieces in just a couple hours!

Additionally, the time constraint of quick sketch helps us prioritize what’s most important.

Imagine if you had 24 hours to find your perfect Halloween outfit versus only 2 hours; you might find that you are suddenly much more focused & efficient!

Trick or Tip.

Now, if you can only draw a stick figure - well that’s perfect!
That’s how we begin our drawings too~

Try using this simple “**wireframe**” to find the *pose*, *angle* & *proportions* of the figure before adding those big shapes.

Dress up, draw & be drawn.

Our upcoming Halloween costume figure drawing event combines this effective learning style with a fun twist -

You’ve put in a lot of effort to create your sweet Halloween outfit, so here’s your chance to show it off & let your fellow artists immortalize your costume on paper.

Feeling shy? Not a problem! Just hang back and sketch the cool costumes you see.
