Figure Drawing is a time-honored practice of studying the human form as an artistic subject. It engages a professional collaboration between model and art students, in which dynamic poses are held still for various lengths of time in order to capture movement and expression.

Those who practice figure drawing regularly learn the underlying thought and processes that aid in conveying the human form convincingly.
