THE ONLINE DRAWING GYM FOR ENGINEERS
FOR INDIVIDUALS
(Online delivery)
8 hours of exercises accessible 24/7 over 12 weeks
Engineers who sketch have a voice. In this course you will gain vital experience working with a set of drawing systems and techniques that are taught with expert guidance in short, easy-to-follow videos. You will also find galleries of examples made by other course attendees for inspiration to help you measure your progress.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
Beginners with no prior knowledge. Professionals looking to improve their skills. Individuals including those preparing to take their Chartered Membership exams, recent graduates, undergraduates, architects, lapsed sketchers, and anybody seeking the confidence to pick up a pen in meetings.
HOW WILL I APPLY MY SKILLS?
On completion of the course you will have gained skills in engineering sketching to apply in the real world to express details, ideas, and processes to architects, surveyors, contractors and other engineers. The skills you learn in the course can be applied immediately in notebook sketches, digital screen sketches, in online team meetings, on whiteboards, in mark-ups, or in sketches over photographs, Google Earth images, Revit and CAD drawings. Progress through the course at your own pace, and when you upload all the completed exercises you automatically qualify for a 30-minute feedback tutorial with Trevor, when we can discuss what you have drawn, where your strengths are, and how you think you will apply your skills at work or in your studies
WHAT WILL I BE ABLE TO DO?
• Draw in Isometric, Axonometric, single-point Perspective, and Orthographic projection
• Draw straight lines, use correct line weight in sketches
• Draw a steel detail
• Make a 1:20 scale isometric drawing
• Project from a plan in axonometric to draw a set of concrete steps
• Make an axonometric massing diagram from a plan
• Make a reveal detail drawing
• Practice drawing arches, curves and pendentives
• Draw a construction sequence
• Scan and upload drawings to introduce them into a digital workflow
“Having the drawing skills to visualise concepts is crucial for everyone of all ages, more than ever before. Trevor Flynn’s approach to embedding such skill in digestible chunks is exactly what we all need.”
