This popular, one-day workshop with Ken Roy will focus on the introduction and demonstration of three practical, functional approaches to sketching the figure using personal graphic language, proportion, and landmarks of the body to establish within three to five minutes a line of action, gesture, the point of balance, and the integration of the major masses of the body.  This workshop is for all experience levels, ages 18 and over.  Please note: Anatomically correct illustrations of the human body will be referenced during the workshop.  The model will wear form-fitting clothing.

Supply list

Paper: Newsprint, rough or smooth, 12" x 18" or 18" x 24". Pad of 50 sheets. Drawing boards and easels, both floor and table models, will be available if you choose to use them.

Measuring tool: your drawing implement, a chopstick, or a knitting needle will work fine.

Drawing implement: your preference of charcoal pencil (2B of 4B), Nitram Fine Art Charcoal or similar product (HB or B),  willow charcoal, pastel pencil or stick (hard), or Cretacolor lead holder, with either sanguine oil or Nero drawing leads. A marker is not a good choice because it will bleed through the paper, and this will make the reverse side unfit for drawing.  

Optional: kneaded eraser or chamois; sand block or Nitram sanding paddle.
