ILLUS-1001: Drawing for Illustration

Course Description

This course is designed to cover the guiding principles, concepts, and techniques employed in narrative drawing for illustrators. Students can expect a rigorous course designed to strengthen their observational, compositional, and storytelling skills. A continuous sketchbook practice will be required in order to fulfill these goals. In doing so, this class is intended to give students a clear idea of what it’s like to be an illustrator, and to learn ways to approach visual communication from the perspective of an illustrator. Learning to effectively use photography and reference material will be a useful strategy in establishing a robust studio practice. Additionally, professional Illustrators will be invited as guest speakers to present their work - providing the students with inspiration and a wealth of experience and knowledge.
