Life Drawing ❀ drop-in class

Ever since our resident artist, Idil Sukan, relocated to Istanbul, she has been on a quest for a good life-drawing class. She has yet to find one so luckily for us, she has decided to create a class herself!

Improving your drawing skills requires frequent practice and observation from real-life subjects. It is far too easy to become complacent and rely on digital tools and photos as references. Well, enough is enough!

Join our exceptioal life drawing class, where students will have the opportunity to take turns drawing each other (with clothes on, of course!). In this way, you will personally experience what it feels like to embody the poses, enriching your artistic practice and informing your understanding of character dynamics and their narratives.  

Students will also have the opportunity to direct one another in different poses and develop these moments fixed in time; letting the poses do the heavy lifting of storytelling and allowing the power of your drawings to speak for themselves eliminating the need for overexplaining.

The classes will also study human anatomy, covering essential topics such as proportions, skeletal structures, and muscle anatomy. By understanding the mechanics and motion of the body, students will gain a deeper appreciation of how these elements serve character and story. Gesture and intentionality analysis will further refine your artistic eye.

With an emphasis on utilizing traditional materials, the classes provide a sensory-rich learning experience. Witness the magic of each mark come to life with tangible materials, establishing a robust foundation that easily translates to digital art should you choose to explore that realm in the future.

Idil is passionate about running these classes and would be thrilled to have you join her.

This is a drop-in class, allowing you the flexibility to attend as you please. However, attending each session will significantly benefit your progress. Slots are extremely limited, so be sure to secure your spot soon.
