Aims

The aim of the course is to develop the ability to capture industrial design objects using digital artwork techniques. The course is aimed mainly at mastering the drawing of own inventive designs and studies. A digital artwork based on an individual approach to the subject aims to significantly enhance the creative potential of an industrial designer. The goal is to achieve a level of expression that allows you to quickly and efficiently view your own designs for further processing with 2D and 3D programs.
Digital drawing is one of the techniques used in the design process. Partially replaces traditional drawing techniques (pencil, fix, etc.). In early design phases, it is used to create variant sketches, then as a basis for creating a 3D model and, in some cases, for a full design presentation. The acquisition of digital artwork enhances the designer's abilities and skills as well as qualitatively enhances outputs at all stages of industrial design development.
