In this lesson, students will learn to draw simple figures by focusing on both single and grouped figures while identifying common mistakes in figure drawing. They will start with an activity to find five well-lit photographs of full figures from magazines or online sources, emphasizing variety in poses and subjects. Following this, students will practice “blocking the figure” by making quick sketches in their sketchbooks, limiting themselves to essential lines and basic forms for each figure. The instructor encourages students to focus on fluidity and confidence in their lines, reassuring them that early attempts may not be perfect but will improve with practice.
