The Life Drawing Network London-based since 2003, global since 2019


This is the Global Educational platform for the Life Drawing community around the World. It all begun in East London where French Portrait Artist Tony Picanco decided to change his life forever to fully support, and save paper Figure Drawing classes from extinction at the turn of the 21st century. He boldly took them where no one had drawn before in London Parks, cemeteries, boats, Barges, Churches, 105 pubs, Offices, Bloomsbury Square language school, Soho house and pubs, squats, stunning buildings/locations, Public squares, restaurants, Clubs, TV on BBC, channel 4 & 5, ITV, SKY, Magazines, Radio 4, Facebook commercials, was the very 1st UK Airbnb Art experience/ambassador, Museums, Art galleries, his own Art gallery in Shoreditch, workshops In the tube compartments, at the London Dome, The Guerkins, created & produced the "Sketchy Theatre" part of Fringe Festival, Cinema Life Drawing in the East end, years of happy classes at the Backyard comedy club,  when Corvid happened and stopped everything., In 2019 London and UK online classes became the major contributors and still are. Tony's mission is now accomplished but he continues running Life Drawing classes Online, guided them for about 3 years so that will always be available to watch, with hundreds of other recordings for those serious about Drawing/Learning to draw the Human figure, whenever and wherever.
