In this third charcoal drawing session, Steve Huston creates a beautiful rendering of model Brant. He gives you a couple chapters on preparing materials and tips for mark-making before showing you how to work with the model to find a pose that’s both pleasing to the eye and comfortable enough to hold for multiple hours. You’ll also learn about two value systems, value control based on the planes that make up the forms of the body, and finishing techniques. As always, Steve’s teaching style and narration strike a wonderful balance between instruction, philosophy, whimsy, and personal anecdotes from his many years in the industry. We hope you enjoy this lesson!
