    Will Weston Drawing Hands and Feet (Recorded)

    This straightforward (recorded) course addresses hands and feet in-depth and in a short period of time. Hands and feet present a special problem to drawing students because they’re detailed, dimensional, mechanical, and also expressive, and rhythmic. In this class, we address hands in detail in the first lesson. We address the how-to aspects of drawing hands & feet, and their use as supportive-expressive elements to facial expression through slide presentations and demonstrations. Lesson two addresses feet and their role as expressive tools in figure drawing with examples pulled from multiple disciplines and in-class demonstrations. Two homework assignments are included in the class.

    Will Weston Mad Science Drawing Class (Recorded)

    This drawing workshop uses old submarine interiors, steam cars, tanks, pre WW1 flying machines, and 19th-century dental and medical equipment as references allowing drawing students to portray character-filled man-made lab equipment, creepy lab furniture, and environments. Students learn to draw everything using cylinders (pipes & pipe fittings), balls, boxes, wire, and ropes, all exaggerated for clarity and expression. Students then scale and design a cutaway for a Mad Scientists laboratory allowing for staging and potential layouts.
