***Body Language LIVE program enrollment opens again in 2025***
for a comprehensive self study with rich content (demonstrations, exercises, and curated image resources for sketching) dripping out weekly over 16 weeks, MODEL DRAWING MAGIC digital course incrementally and intentionally changes how you move and see in relation to drawing and most especially MODEL DRAWING FOR FASHION and beyond! MDM also includes a private course community area where you can ask, share, get feedback and support from Laura or peers during the 16 weeks journey, and you keep the course forever.
And FASHION SKETCH GROUP is a weekly zoom meetup on Wednesdays to keep your “date” with your creativity. Sketch, explore, experiement, discover, play, ask, and share in our cozy community of fashion creatives of all “levels.”
it’s time to jump into the pool with both feet and learn to draw as a natural extension of your love for style, expression, people, fashion, adornment, culture, and the power of the female form (in all shapes and sizes) in MODEL DRAWING MAGIC and to practice it further in Fashion Sketch Group!
I don’t teach distorted body proportions for fashion. I teach a technique that you can apply to create any and all body types, and encourage that! This is YOUR expression!
BODY LANGUAGE: Model Drawing
BODY LANGUAGE IS BACK!
5 weeks, 5 Fridays 6:30-8:30 NYC time via ZOOM, lifetime replays and 5 weeks of private discussion area for sharing, feedback, questions and support.
#modeldrawing for the standing, poses female figure for #fashion, #costume, #art, and #illustration.
Let’s begin at the beginning and embody #modeldrawing as a full body experience of energy, senses, movement and vitality.
Model Dawing Magic is my self- study program on this topic, and Fashion Sketch Group is our weekly drawing date on zoom. But BODYLANGUAGE is a container that brings us together live to learn and draw together. We’ll explore proportions, balance, dynamics, texture, form and depth, emotion and motion, line and shape, objectivity and imagination.
Over the five weeks we’ll notice what comes up as we dive in and I’ll support you with mindset shifts that loosen you up into more playful openness and self compassion on your drawing journey into confidence, ownership and unshakeaboe self- knowledge on your drawing path.
Your voice is your voice, unique and eager to come out and play.
Body Language invites you to use that voice to speak the expressions of the body, gestures, postures and the stories they tell.
You’ll be witnessed and guided through the weeks and on the sales page you’ll also see a 1:1 coaching option.
How would you feel if you could come to the page with a sense of freedom, confidence and exhilaration, knowing that you had a solid set of experiences and tools in your pocket?
What happens when we draw?
I LOVE fashion, adornment, humanity, … AND a #modeldrawing is “something else”.
It’s a space you move into where so much else is happening.
Where EVERYTHING else is happening.
Model Drawing is the “excuse”,
And then here you are.
Tuning in.
Feeling. Responding, observing, loving, flowing, impulsed to move.
Once you’ve surrendered to the drawing, a whole world opens up because you begin to SEE, what you are looking at starts to open up to you and reveal a thousand secrets.
You begin to see everything that you didn’t see before because your were running, running , running around, skimming the surface of everything.
Even a short timed drawing of 5 minutes can carry you deep into yourself, into experience, into tapping and remembering your divine connection to life and spirit itself.
This is why we draw.
It’s a great skill, it’s technical and observational. It’s a language. It’s visionary.
And it’s psychological, spiritual, magical, imaginary, expansive, holy, and NECESSARY.
It’s a conversation with our inner world and our outer world, bringing them together.
Checking in with ourselves.
And while we are “model drawing”, we are learning DRAWING and we are DRAWING out that which is within us.
BODY LANGUAGE is Drawing 101 for #figuredrawing and #fashiondrawing / #fashionillustration.
Becoming fluent in this language opens up WORLDS.
Like just now I traveled to Brazil, and every moment I was there I was so thankful that I had learned Brazilian Portuguese because it literally OPENED UP WORLDS to me.
Are you eager to open the world of #drawing , the key that opens so many doors within you?
