A satisfying drawing does not necessarily have to describe every detail. If a drawing is too descriptive it can lack that essential artistic and creative element which makes the work intrinsically ‘yours’.

16 figure drawing tutorials (try the first 2 here) to help you see and draw the human form. Welcome to:

figure-drawing-with-mag.com

Underlying structural elements, and a variety of principles which facilitate control in drawing and seeing should make a huge difference to your ability to understand how to draw people.

Left are areas covered in this study.

Please try the first two tutorials and if you wish to have access to the rest I would be delighted.

If so, contact me at the e mail address below, have a chat, and arrange subscription and I will send the rest of the pages directly to you on disc. You will not be alone as I‘m happy to provide some feedback via e mail or snail mail as you progress through . The cost is $75 if you would like extensive feed back or $50 if you just want the tutorials .($Australian.) For both types of subscription, I will be very happy to say hello and have a chat about your drawing.

All the very best, Maggie Lyons.
