Learn to sketch with more focus in just 3 days!

This course is delivered as a 3-day crash course. To help you progress steadily through the lessons and assignments you will get access to a fresh course module for three days in a row.

Day 1 - Setting the mind

In this first module you will learn how to use two distinct sketching mindsets. These mindsets are accompanied by two sets of simple principles to explore ideas with more efficiency and communicate your solutions more effectively.

Day 2 - Exploratory sketching

In this second module we dive into the principles that are part of the exploratory sketching mindset. You start building your own exploratory habits and practice using this mindset during a fun sketching game!

Day 3 - Communicative sketching

In the final module we will investigate the principles of the communicative sketching mindset. You will learn to use markers and pens to lift your best ideas into the spotlight and make them shine!
