Byzantine Iconography Series 4: Drawing the Full Figure (P3)

In this course, Part 3 of Series 4, we will continue to draw full figure Saints and their garments, by putting into practice what was learned in the series on Garment Basics. We will also go more in depth into the use of the transverse principle in created rhythm  and harmony in our figures as well as how it is used in composing icons of more than one figure.

In section one we will be studying the garments of Imperial and Noble Saints.

In Section two we will learn to draw the garments of the martyrs.

Finally, in Section 3 we will draw the garments of the Unmercenary Saints and learn basic rules of composition for drawing two figures together.

Required Materials: Pencil, paper and eraser.
