A great way to start sketching digitally like a pro!
Analog sketching is great, but can also slow down your workflow. By sketching digitally, you don’t have to deal with scanning paper sketches, you can do many design iterations quickly, and of course “Ctrl+Z” can be very handy!
This course will introduce you to the basics of digital sketching and guide you through the process of completing a product design sketch and render with an entirely digital workflow.
You will learn basic drawing exercises, perspective, digital workflow practices, and rendering techniques. If you have little to no experience sketching digitally this class will guide you through the necessary steps to become familiar with the tools and programs you are using. And if you have experience, this is a great way to go back and reinforce the basics and learn a new perspective on the digital sketching workflow.
