Course Description

Overview

In this class you'll learn some quick and handy sketching techniques that will propel your visual communication skills to the next level.

Humans process visual information 60,000 x faster than words. So get visual!

This class is suitable both for total beginners and more seasoned designers who want to be more efficient at doing quick sketches to communicate ideas and concepts.

I'll show you how to sketch anything and apply the 4 essential building blocks of effective visual communication: images, type, layout and colour.

In this class you'll learn:

  • Choosing the right pens
  • Sketching the basic visual elements
  • Drawing simple objects and icons
  • Easy techniques to give your type more impact
  • Effective layouts to arrange your sketches
  • How to use highlight color and shading

These skills can be applied in work and life to get more ideas out, think faster and explain concepts to others with visuals.

To learn this skill you'll choose an idea or process for our project, break it down to its 3 main steps and communicate it through simple sketching.

Join me and get better at visual communication and hand sketching.
