Guest Series with Darcy Muencrath
In this month’s Guest Series, we invite Darcy Muencrath. Darcy will go over some of the fundamentals of drawing like paying close attention to what you’re looking at and negative space; things that people often overlook. He will help any artist approach drawing in a more fluid and gestural way, pulling away from the binary of look/draw and guide you into more of an observe/create mindset.
