Life drawing is an artistic practice where artists create representations of the human figure from a live model. This discipline focuses on capturing the form, proportions, and movement of the body, often emphasizing anatomy and posture. Artists use various mediums, such as charcoal, pencil, or paint, to depict the model in different poses. Typically conducted in art studios or classrooms, life drawing sessions can vary in length, with poses ranging from quick sketches to longer, more detailed studies. This practice helps artists improve their observational skills and understand the complexities of human anatomy, which is essential for various forms of visual art.
