Introduction to Life Drawing
Materials: Use a variety of materials and colours including fine liners, felt tip
pens, pencils, charcoal and wax crayons.
Think about how you can apply any new knowledge gained from the previous
workshop…
Be confident…
Focus on the economy of your line…
Embrace failure…
Respond to the movements and imperfections of a life model as opposed
to the stillness of a photograph…
Concentrate on what you can actually see not what you expect to see…

as much as possible.
