Description: In this simple figure drawing lesson, I show you how to use the enveloping method to judge proportions more accurately. The lesson uses white charcoal on a dark ground but you can apply this to any drawing medium. *** Materials List *** Pencil: I use a white charcoal pencil by Faber Castell but and brand will do and you can follow the first half of the lesson (enveloping method) with a regular graphite pencil. Paper: Any dark drawing paper but again you can follow the enveloping technique with a plain piece of sketching paper. Other: An eraser and a blade/sand paper for sharpening your charcoal pencil. *** Reference Material *** Reference Photo: art-tutor.s3.amazonaws.com/drawing/classes/phil-davies/enveloping-method/enveloping-method-reference.jpg Phil's Drawing: art-tutor.s3.amazonaws.com/drawing/classes/phil-davies/enveloping-method/enveloping-method-final.jpg Follow Phil's latest drawing program here: drawawesome.com Join our free community for artists of all abilities: artkula.com
