Figure Drawing 301

About Course

Figure drawing 301 is an online advanced figure drawing course for degree credit. This course is offered to our third-year students or any artist who is at an intermediate level in their draftsmanship abilities.

Figure Drawing is one of the most important skills you will learn as an aspiring artist, especially for animation training. Figure drawing is taken every quarter for all three years of our diploma course, this the very first figure drawing class in our diploma course. If you haven’t taken the intro to figure drawing course I highly recommend you take that course first. This course can be taken for diploma credit or just as an independent enrichment class.
