In week four, instructor Mike Mattesi will introduce you to a concept used in FORCE drawing called the leading edge. You will learn how the model moves in space and decipher the actions required to create the pose. This technique is useful in animation and often employed to create movement and motion. Mike will also demonstrate how to utilize blind drawing, the experience of looking at the model while sketching with your hand in tandem.

In week three, you will learn to draw the figure with rhythm, utilizing directional lines and applied forces. Instructor Mike Mattesi will teach you how to break each pose into simple forms to determine the direction of force. You will practice drawing with FORCE digitally using different brushes available. Lastly, Mike will demonstrate the FORCE experiences to employ in figure drawing.

In week two, instructor Mike Mattesi will demonstrate a major component of FORCE drawing; the gravity guide. You will learn how to interpret the force of gravity on the model; it allows you to correctly distribute the weight of the figure evenly on the page. Mike will illustrate a formula for finding the center of gravity. Then, you will watch him apply that concept to his figure drawings.

In week one, instructor Mike Mattesi will introduce you to the key concepts of drawing with FORCE. You will learn about the experience of force and how to control your line while drawing. Mike will share with you the different ways to set up a drawing space and the materials he uses when drawing with FORCE.
