I have the good fortune, though my students may argue that point, to teach Clothed Figure Drawing at the Academy of Art University.I learned most of what I know from the amazing Barbara Bradley. I am weeding my demo drawings, of which I seem to have a lot, and here are the first in a series of mostly short drawings, these having to do with legs and he curves in the body, and in particular, seeing the tapering shapes, wonderful curves and rhythms that they possess. If you can't see, understand, and emphasize when the model has with little clothing on, then drawing them with clothes on will never be achieve what you want. So we go back and forth a lot in class. I hope that you enjoy, and I will post more from the files as I shoot my way though.

Thanks for posting these Chuck!! I appreciate getting to see some of these again.
more to come
So we are supposed to know the figure first? Maybe I should have paid more attention in the class instead of pretending to draw. *smile*
Thanks for posting the drawings. They are as informative as I remembered. I have always loved the little note on the side of the drawings.
