Description

DESIGN SKETCHING

Nowadays, people are starting to debate about creativity, originality, and what it truly means to be an artist or designer. If AI can generate amazing images in seconds, that's pretty cool.

But most importantly, we must continue to discover our own value/worth, and if necessary, make AI just a tool to help us.

Learning Design Sketching is the perfect answer to how we can respond to the current situation and win the increasingly fierce competition against those who still use old methods or those who are starting to use AI as their solutions.

We learn how to express an idea in a more tangible form.

By using AI or writing a prompt, we're lucky if we get results that match our desires. The problem is, machines start to read trends and always produce similar or generic results.

Our chances of being more creative, original, and unique are much greater if we have design sketching skills, even if they are very rough. Ultimately, we will still be more accurate.

What we learn in Design Sketching:

1. Synchronizing and translating what's in our minds into a sketch using various methods that make it easier for us to visualize it.

2. Understand important aspects of training, such as muscle memory training, improving imagination, and utilizing memory to simplify and speed up processes.

3. We will learn about color, shape/design, composition, lighting, perspective, and rendering.
