Description

Greetings Artist!

Do you struggle with drawing females? Maybe you find it mysterious, intimidating and almost impossible to understand.  That's how it was for me. No matter how much I learned and practiced, there was always something in my art that just seemed a bit off. I was frustrated to say the least... almost to the point of giving up. Fortunately, my love for comics and drawing was too strong for that and I kept going. And going.

Over a decade later and thousands of hours of relentless practice and studying under some of my favorite artists, some of who eventually became my mentors, I finally broke through.

And you can too...

By the end of this course you’ll be able to quickly and confidently draw what was previously one of the most difficult and bewildering areas to understand… the female figure


I’ll be teaching you with a method I learned throughout my career as an artist that I refer to as “simplified layouts” which focuses more on simple shapes and nuances that lead to a great finished sketch. This method yields results and FAST.


Not only will we cover the details and application of this technique, but I’ll also be practicing it with you.

That’s right, this isn’t just a point and talk course, I’ll personally be in the trenches showing you in real-time how I do it while explaining the process at the same time. Together, I’ll walk you through the entire process, step by step.

I am enrolled in all of Mike Van Orden's Udemy courses. His style of teaching is more of a draw with me approach. He alternates between digital and traditional. But if I had to choose I prefer his traditional videos. I love learning how to use pencil and paper. And another thing that's cool about Mike is you can send him your work and he will review it for you. As far as this specific course, it has definitely helped me in leveling up my artwork for drawing females. My females looked very masculine at the beginning of the course. But not anymore thanks to this course! Looking forward to future courses and I can't wait for the composition and rendering course.

Another great course by MVO! It’s a total intro/beginner course, but it’s really helpful and I’m learning the fundamentals. Can’t wait for the follow up to this one!

Another good course by Mike. I wish there were more of an emphasis on drawing the hair. Maybe create a course on just drawing the male and female hair.

Mike is a great teacher. He really helped me level up my skills. Very helpful and informative. There was alot of "aha!" moments going through his course where I finally understood things about anatomy that I never did before. He taught me that you need to get the basic structure down first(and correctly) then build off of that. Thank you Mike!

what makes the the human form seem to hard? is it drawing the it Is it the muscles or is it something that seems to complicated to be done. Or is it the stress of others or your personal stress that makes this seems hard. Mike has a way to show you that you can do this. I grew up in the 80s and I was told i would never be able to draw that it was natural born and not skill ever heard that? I am here to tell you that Mike handles those fears very well and shows you how one should approach drawing women and drawing in particular. Keep it simple get your information and work from there. My biggest problems were always getting caught up on a pose or muscles and that would bring me down except Mike shows you what important about your art journey and how make it fun plus if you have questions Mike will get back to you. I love this course and hopefully you will as well

I’m a huge fan of Mike’s work and this course is exactly what I was looking for, lots of practical techniques and real time application of tips and tricks. Mike’s females are hands down among the best out there and for good reason. Highly recommended course for anyone wanting to take their female drawing to the next level!
