Description
Do you want to get ideas out of your head and onto the page? Do you want to be able to explore shapes or concepts quickly and clearly? Do you want to learn a professional skill set used by Industrial Designers every day? Then you've come to the right place! Drawing is a learned skill – that means anyone can learn it, and I'll show you how.In this class, we start from zero – no previous experience required. We'll go over the basics and work our way up to complex shapes. Along the way you'll be given tons of exercises designed to build muscle memory, train technique, and increase your comfort level. Let's get started!
