Figure Drawing Resource I

This is the first in a series that i'll be putting together of resources available on the net to learn figure drawing. Rebecca Alzofon of Academic Figure workshops and classes has put together a tutorial on Gesture drawing, what it is, why it is important and how to go about it. The tutorial is animated and easy to understand.

I had tagged her site a while ago but remembered it again only when i saw a reference to a study that she'd put together on Pierre-Paul Prud'hon. The article is on her interpretation of his style, technique and approach to figure drawing. She has subsequently updated the article here.

    Rebecca's work is great!!! I love how she makes Prudhon's technique understandable! her drawings have live and movement! Another person to check out is an Animator/Artist from Stanford named Patricia Hannaway. She combines animation and draftsmanship in her fine art.
    check out: www.patriciaahannaway.com.
    I think these artists live in the same area. Maybe they know each other?
    Thanks for the resource! :)
