Tutor and artist Richard provides tips on sustained observation and drawing of the human form. He speaks about the benefits of intensely looking at people and forms, such as an increased visual vocabulary, and an understanding of composition, form and structure which he brings to his own life drawing practice and classes.

After graduating, he felt the need to focus on his drawing skills, applying to The Drawing Year to push his practice further towards a fine art context. His current work deals with the idea of creating a personal mythology and the importance of myth to modern man. Richard uses drawing to begin to express intangible ideas in a tangible, material form.
