EM Life Drawing} Out-of-Proportion: Familiar things, Unfamiliar Sizes

Arcus Sounds - Live Recording Studio in East LondonLondon, England
Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 from 6:45 pm to 9 pm GMT
Overview

We do not instruct; instead, we invite participants to share. We believe that art connects people, and sharings improve creativity!

As the New Year begins, this session invites you to reset your creative instincts—letting go of old rules, refreshing your practice, and turning creative resolutions into action.


This 'Out-of-Proportion' themed lifedrawing session explores scale as a perceptual and emotional tool, rather than a rule of anatomy. This session invites you to step outside realism and distort proportion as an act of expression. Bodies are not measured here! they are felt. Through exaggeration, isolation, and fragmentation, silhouettes gain emotional weight and conceptual meaning.


Scale becomes unstable. A hand may outweigh a torso. A foot may feel monumental.Influenced by caricature, dynamic illustration, and surrealist and expressionist practices, this exercise encourages you to abandon correct proportion and discover your own visual language.
