How to draw
people
In class, you'll learn how to draw realistic, recognizable faces and figures, using an easy step by step method, even if you've never drawn before. We'll start out by drawing some figures based on simple underlying shapes, then add details and shading. Plus: action, proportions, facial expressions, drawing hands and feet, and techniques for getting a good resemblance when drawing from life or photos. "Absolute beginners" welcome.

out put was positive and affirming....encouraging and accepting (comment

This was my first figure drawing class, I had no idea what to
expect when I walked in the door. I felt comfortable at all times
and I enjoyed the different skill levels in the class. I loved
the teacher and overall I learned a great deal and had fun in
the class. I would for sure recommend it to a friend! (comment

I liked learning techniques. Nils simplified the process so that
drawing the figure is not so daunting to me any more. Great class! (comment

It was great, exactly what I was hoping for. I improved a lot
and I understand the figure better now. - M.L., Seattle
Thanks for the extra help with hands and feet. The class was excellent
and I'll be back for some more in the future. - S.F., Seattle
At LAST I understand about proportions!!!!! Thank you for explaining
the difference between the three types. And it was nice having
all the materials provided. - S.L., Seattle
What I liked: the handouts, the lectures, the step by step stuff,
the instructor's knowledge and organized approach. Disliked: no
latte stand in the building! Okay, okay, I'll bring my own next
time :) --O.E., Bellevue
This was a great class for me. It went at an easy pace, but covered
more than most figure drawing classes cover in a year. My wife
mentioned the improvement in my drawings. - R.G., Seattle
Thank you so much for
the class. I was one of those people who had never drawn before.
Your method is great, it makes everything fast and easy. - Shelly
H., Seattle
Nils is well organized and presents the information stap by step
so that everyone can keep up. There was a good balance between
the parts where he was showing us how to do things, and the drawing
periods when we could practice it. - S.B., Seattle
I loved it, it was really fun. - K.A., Seattle
