Basic Drawing For Design
Hey everybody, here’s another video how-to.
Many non-designers assume that you have to really know how to draw to design good business cards, brochures or newsletters, and that’s not the case at all. When I got my first paying gig as a production artist I became frustrated over time because I didn’t get to draw anything. After all, that’s why I got into the business in the first place. I loved to draw. And even after making Lead Designer years later, I still didn’t do much drawing or illustrative work. The fact is, illustrations are only incorporated into a few projects that pass through a studio. A lot of time photos and graphical images are used. So you see, drawing is only a part of graphic design. Now it doesn’t hurt to be able to sketch a anatomically correct figure from memory, but it’s not a deal breaker if you can’t. In this video I’ll show you that if you can draw basic shapes you can design.
