Glen Orbik Head and Figure Drawing Workshop 2009

Glen Orbik's head and figure drawing workshop at 3Kicks went very well. He came in with many of his original drawings and paintings and they were eye opening for the students. Many of the paintings were works he had done for his clients like Warner Brothers, Sony, Marvel Comic and DC just to name a few.




Here are some pictures of the demo he did on the live model.

Hello,

The well known Illustrator and Figure artist will be doing a 2 day Head and Figure Drawing workshop at 3Kicks Fine Art Studio. In the workshop, Glen will explain and demonstrate from the model as well as critique students' work. The focus will be on draftsmanship, designing both 2D and 3D elements together, with special emphasis on idealization. The tonal approach stressing shapes, values, and edges is excellent training to help students make transition from drawing to painting, as well sharpening the skills of those who already paint and draw. For more information on Glen, please visit www.orbikart.com

Date of workshop: Feb. 7th 5 pm to 10 pm and Feb. 8th 1 to 6 pm
Fee: $260 ($250 + $10 registration fee)
