This course provides you with a dynamic exploration of the fundamentals of illustrative practice. You will explore observational and imaginative drawing and how they are applied to image making. You’ll be given opportunities to investigate methods and materials relating to illustrative and graphic techniques. You will be encouraged to experiment using playful approaches, reflection and critical evaluation in a studio setting.

You will also work collaboratively on projects to produce inspiring and creative outcomes and be introduced to how illustration is used in industry: how it is applied and how it appears in different contexts.

On this course, you will:

learn quick sketching techniques to capture the energy of a scene
explore creative approaches to drawing people, places, and events
experiment with a variety of materials to master line, form, tone, and colour
dive into visual storytelling by focusing on framing, composition, and perspective
keep a vibrant sketchbook full of original illustrations and creative ideas
