A Constructive Approach to Hands and Feet with Brian Knox
Hands and feet are some of the more challenging aspects of drawing the human figure. Join instructor Brian Knox for a 3-day exploration of the anatomy and construction of hands and feet.
Hands and feet are complicated. This workshop will focus on breaking them down into their most simple forms starting with anatomy, followed by basic shapes, and then bringing it all together into drawing hands and feet. This workshop is a beginning-level introduction to what many consider to be the most difficult aspects of figure drawing.
