A35 Drawing for Illustration

Level A – All levels welcome.

Illustration is as old as the earliest cave paintings. Illustrating text is simply making pictures to visually explain a story or existing knowledge. This is different from drawing directly from nature or drawing what you see. This course will teach you how to research, plan and execute drawings that illuminate what you imagine so that others can see what you think. You’ll execute drawings based on your choice of text.
