Bristol has around 20 Life Drawing workshops per week mainly run by incredibly cool queens - we’re nerdy and wholesome lot! Portishead Life Drawing is our little community of artists, animators, crochet-nerds, nhs workers, and people there for their mental health and for community.
”I can’t draw” - Life drawing can be hard, but we’ve seen massive improvements within 2-3 weeks. And we love to nerd.
Drawing and Life Drawing are essential practices for any creator, specially animators. Drawing is more than just a concepting and communication tool or art in itself. Life Drawing with a real person in front of you is a never-ending challenge: Prracticing defeating your brain’s built-in perceptions about the figure, learning how to describe gesture and anatomy, describe weight and volume, how shadows and light work to describe form, and maybe finally learn to tell a story with the figure at the center. It’s a pit of brillian, frustrating, deep learning and it can be fun seeing everyone’s different styles, levels and approaches.
