Figure Drawing: The Spirit of the Pose | Part 5: Light and Tone

[New Masters Academy]

In this series, figure drawing instructor, Karl Gnass, will show you how to draw an entire figure through his five crucial stages: Gesture, Formulation, Anatomy, Light and Tone, and Aesthetics. In this fifth lesson of the series, Karl will share with you the next step: Light and Tone. Karl will begin with a lecture on the basics of Light and Tone, followed by several demonstrations of Old Master drawings. Following this, Karl will do several drawings from references of models. Next, you will get a chance to practice what you’ve learned in a timed figure drawing assignment. The lesson will conclude with Karl’s approach to the same assignment, allowing you to compare your work with his.

Materials

• Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil – Black
• Conté Charcoal Pencil

What’s the name of the Bellini’s painting? I want to find it on Internet.

Would it be possible to have the master drawings of this section provided in a reference section of sorts? Could go for the rest of this course too, also if possible.

When you select “The Spirit of the pose” from the course menu the anatomy section(the section before this one) is missing

I second Josseline. Bit frustrating not to have full size versions of the maters drawings so I can draw along with Karl

I think its an error.  Its actually Saint Sebastian being helped by angels by Rubens.  https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/0_Saint_S%C3%A9bastien_secouru_par_les_anges_-_Pierre_Paul_Rubens_%281%29.JPG
