Online Figure Course

From Structure to Expression

All you need to know to get confident.

This 10-week intensive course is designed to guide you through sculpting a 1:4 scale human figure in oil-based clay, following a carefully selected pose. You’ll work from home with step-by-step guidance, video demonstrations, and ongoing feedback from Javier throughout the process.

You’ll have access to a curated set of resources, including multi-angle photographs, videos, 3D models, and printable scans to support your learning journey beyond the course.

The curriculum focuses on structure, proportion, simplification, geometry, gesture, and moves into anatomical understanding—making it perfect for both beginners and experienced sculptors looking to sharpen their skills or gain fresh insight.

With nearly 30 years of experience in traditional sculpture and the film industry, Javier teaches by sculpting alongside students, demonstrating techniques, and offering clear explanations and artistic insights along the way.

You’ll also take part in a private Facebook group, where students submit progress photos, receive Photoshop-corrected feedback, and connect with others in a supportive and motivating environment.

Corrections
Each week, you’ll send photos of your sculpture for feedback. Javier will reply by email and send you a short video with personalized corrections and tips to improve your work.

Zoom Catch-Ups
Every second weekend, we’ll host a live Zoom session where you can ask questions and get support. Can’t make it? No problem—recordings will be available on the course site to watch anytime.

Time Commitment
You’ll need around 5–7 hours per week. This could be 1 hour a day or 2-hour blocks across the week. The more time you put in, the better your results.

Skill Level
No sculpting experience? No worries. If you’ve drawn before or worked digitally, it’ll help—but Javier will guide everyone based on their level so you can make real progress.

In our studio, we’re proud to support the people who make this work possible—especially the models who pose for us. Every time you pay for a workshop, a small lifetime fee goes directly to them, so they continue to earn each time their reference is used.

By joining our courses, you’re not only learning valuable artistic skills—you’re also supporting personal, human-made art and those who contribute to it. It’s a conscious choice to back real creatives, instead of feeding profit-driven systems or the rising misuse of AI in the arts.

Javier has put together a very comprehensive online Figure Sculpting Course which is hard to fault. There is a wealth of material and instruction, both written and visual (including video) plus information on books, extra study options and his personal artistic inspiration. There are regular videos catch-ups and also access to the Studio webpage and therefore the community of other students and their work. Javier teaches with generosity, kindness, enthusiasm and fun; he is encouraging and supportive and gives comprehensive, accurate feedback. He is gentle and laid back in style but with obvious passion, commitment and dedication to his work and to his students. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic course. Very well laid out instructions and abundance of information from reference pictures of the model , STL files for reference 3d models of simplified anatomy etc. Then tailored feedback from Javier on where you can improve the piece and how to approach the sculpture based on your skill level. Would highly recommend

Got to learn Javier through his online figure course both as a professional and as a person and i got to say i came out extremely satisfied with the knowledge i acquired and lucky to have been part of it! The course's content is well paced and structured in a way to help you practice what you watch through and through catch ups, individualized corrections and suggestions regarding one's approach to sculpting Javier manages to make what early on seems like a daunting task, an achievable goal and a great experience. Really enjoyed working with him and would gladly do so again!
