In this special drawing demo, Glenn Vilppu demonstrates a sculptural approach to drawing the figure using a custom-modified eraser. He emphasizes construction, gesture, and atmosphere—moving beyond surface copying and into volumetric form.
Draw with Glenn Vilppu and Aaron Blaise - Outdoors! www.newmastersvillage.com/ And join Glenn for his weekly Friday draw-alongs, available to all active NMA students: www.nma.art/v3/
Join Aaron Blaise, Glenn Vilppu, and Joshua Jacobo for the official reveal of New Masters Village—a working artist village in the high desert of Colorado.

Great color rests on solid value. Steve Huston narrows the tonal window, then gently shifts temperature and chroma to model the figure without breaking unity. Small moves create big impact, proving that restraint keeps a design readable while letting the painting breathe.
Glenn Vilppu’s Drawing Manual has trained tens of thousands of artists—from studio legends to first-time sketchers. With this new release you can choose the classic, lay-flat hardcover or the brand-new digital edition—so you can study gesture, construction, and anatomy wherever you draw.
