Drawing Basics


  • Fabville at Somerville High School 81 Highland Avenue Somerville, MA, 02143 (map)

Beginner

For aspiring designer, creatives and hobbyists alike! Learn the fundamentals of drawing and illustration during three two-hour exercise-based sessions at FabVille. The ability to draw allows you to better communicate your ideas and rough out ideas before starting to fabricate them.

We will start with the basics of the basics; effective mark making and gradients. From there, we’ll dive into perspective drawing, lighting/shading, and how to depict textures. When we bring these various skills together, what started as simple marks on a page will evolve into realistic objects that interact with one another and tell a story.

With these essentials in your toolkit, you’ll be able to create convincing 3D objects and scenes on 2D surfaces. Learn the fundamentals of drawing not only to improve your creative and designs skills, but to bring your inspiration to life!
