The Figure in Charcoal
A workshop by Julian Dieckert Always wanted to learn figure drawing but didn’t know where to start? Or already tried it and felt a little lost?
This one-day intensive workshop is designed for beginners and intermediate artists who want to dive into figure drawing in a focused, hands-on way. With a live model, practical exercises, live demonstrations, and personal feedback, you’ll learn the essential tools for observing and translating the human form onto paper.
What you’ll learn:
• Gesture & Proportion – Capture movement, structure, and proportions.
• Short & Long Poses – Learn to approach quick sketches as well as longer studies.
• Shading & Form – Use light, shadow, and contrast to create depth and realism.
• Abstraction & Flow – Simplify the figure, find rhythm, and develop your own approach.
With more than 10 years of experience teaching life drawing, Julian Dieckert brings a relaxed and approachable teaching style to the studio. He is a founding member of Drink and Draw Berlin and has studied Fine Art, Visual Communication, and Game Design.
Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to refresh your skills, this intensive day will give you the tools and confidence to approach figure drawing with a fresh perspective.
