About This Blog

I am a student at Futureworks currently in my first year of their Games Development Course. This blog largely comprises of work and illustrations made in relation to assignments, as well as the very occassional opinion pieces or information I happen to believe may be relevent to my fellow students on the course.

Personal Blog - Life Drawing

Hey guys. Can't remember if this is the first blog of the new year, and I can't believe I've neglected this for so long. Hopefully I will pick up the pace again soon.


But I thought I'd make this blog entry today on the offchance anyone is interested in what I'm going to say (Unlikely, I know, but I don't want to take the chance.)

I'm going to be going on a short course in life drawing in February at a cost of £180, and I wanted to leave a link on here. Because I think that this could really be something others that want to draw could benefit from.

And I know it says Stockport Art Guild, but the lessons are running on a Sunday in Manchester (Deansgate)... the Stockport Art Guild is a group that operates in Stockport, and their members do run little courses as well as life drawing and portrait sessions every week

In short, if you have the money and you want to learn the fundamentals, I think it would be well worth considering this course. Learning basics, gesture, lighting et cetera... the sort of skills that you don't really find in most art courses in this day and age (Given the massive emphasis on abstract art, which I imagine does help in an anything you do is still good sort of way)
