Hard Surface Sketching
Apple Pen

Master precision and depth in your drawings. Learn how to sketch hard surfaces with structure, clarity, and power.

This course unlocks the principles of form, space, and perspective to help your sketches feel solid and real. You’ll move past flat drawings by learning how objects exist in space, relate to each other, and gain depth through proportion and perspective. With mentor guidance, peer support, and a collaborative drawing jam, you’ll finish with portfolio-ready work that demonstrates your ability to sketch structured, dimensional objects with clarity and artistic confidence.
