In week two, instructor Karl Gnass will teach you how to tell a story in a figure drawing through gesture. You will learn how the ability to make a solid gesture aids in your drawing skill; it will help establish the feeling of the pose. Karl will walk you through the concepts of drawing through and around the forms of the body.
