Every aspiring and active artist of all skill levels can improve and grow their creativity through figure and portrait studies. You can learn a lot about composition, conveying three-dimensional impressions of a living form on a two-dimensional paper within a limited time, and how to portray the motions and intangible narratives and emotions that are revealed through a model.
