In this one-day workshop participants will get an introduction to sculpting the human figure. We will work with a step-by-step structure, in which you learn to accurately describe the large structures and the bony landmarks.
Program
Sanne van Tongeren gives an introduction to the 'Drawing in space' teaching method, demonstrating the most important themes (gesture - proportion - body type) using the model for reference. Once the model’s pose has been analized, we bend the armature into the correct shape. We then systematically look at the relationship between the large structures ('box' and 'egg') and the important 'bony landmarks' with special attention to proportions and gesture. The workshop ends with a review of the method.
