Imagine yourself confidently drawing and designing simultaneously in plan form (2-dimension), perspective (3-dimension) and sections and elevations rapidly, in front of your client producing accurate representation with trace paper, pencil and markers.

Sketching quote to remember: "There are no mistakes on paper, just future knowledge."

What you'll learn:
The following questions will be covered in two intensive fun days:

1. Can I draw quick perspective, isometrics, sections and elevations and accurate freehand elements in front of my clients, employers and in meetings with confidence?
2. How do I represent topography, plants and elements appropriately?
3. How do I start my three-dimensional drawing so it ends up the appropriate presentation size--not too big, not too small?
4. How do I lay out my section drawing?
5. How do I lay out my elevation drawing?
6. Can I use these methods with a one- or two-point perspective?
7. How do I determine object size?
8. How do I incorporate life, feeling and mood?
9. How do I create vertical and horizontal dimension and movement within my color rendering while accomplishing a successful composition?
10. How do I know where to put my vanishing points, with no grids, just quick freehand layouts and techniques?
11. Learn the 6 MOST IMPORTANT things animators from Pixar, Disney, Warner Brothers and the every day cartoon creators use and rely on for successful projects. It is also what the old masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Escher, Andrew Wyeth and many others used to express feeling and emotion. I use these 6 techniques in my artwork, renderings, designs, sketches and drawings on a regular basis. This will surprise you. You see and touch these techniques every day.
12. How the eye works and how to guide the viewer through a controlled tour of your design, essentially controlling how you want the viewer to feel and what you want them to see first, second and third and where you want their eye to rest.
13. How do I create shadow, dimension and depth?
14. How positive and negative spaces are used.
15. The correct approach and mythology of using white space and how white space works within your renderings.
16. The correct approach and mythology of using black and how black works within your renderings.
17. How to use lines, forms, spaces, colors and textures successfully.
18. How to develop a balanced composition.
19. How to successfully use repetitive elements throughout your rendering.
20. Can I apply the above techniques to my designs?
21. You'll learn how to take your client through a tour of your two-dimensional drawing while sitting in front of them.
22. How do I create quick textures?
Specifically this course teaches Landscape Architects, Architects, Teachers, Designers and Design students how to develop freehand drawings/sketches from plans or even concepts, while sitting in front of your client, employer or while in a town hall meeting. The techniques that you'll learn from this workshop will allow you to produce a higher level of successful and creative designs, drawings, sketches and presentation projects for your employer or client while adding credibility to your portfolio. The continued success of these techniques and understanding the compositional aspects of your sketches and drawings can only be achieved by you, with repetitive and persistent practice. Our teaching method is practical and hands on. You will have no choice but to have fun, learn and absorb new and useful knowledge.

Practical:
This is a very interactive workshop you will "learn by doing" and Paul will be hands-on with each student. Paul will show you hand skill techniques (how to confidently hold the pencils, markers and drafting supplies to achieve particular design and drafting techniques for speed, quickness, line quality and weight.
