Learn how to draw and illustrate your ideas fast and creatively using your hands and a pencil (or pen). Learn the basics of 2D and 3D drawing and rendering; the marvels of constructing an easy to draw isometric; how to create shapes, depth, shading and textures on a variety of forms and materials; how to illustrate hardware, and more.
