SKETCHING JEWELLERY
mARKERS
Online course on the basics of perspective drawing and illustrating metals
WITH
The course "Jewelry Sketching with Markers" is a series of detailed online lessons by the jewelry designer and illustrator Irina Vasilenko, in which we learn how to draw metal jewelry with markers.

A sketch is a quick outline to convey your idea clearly and easily. Sketches in perspective are usually performed on a free scale "by eye". A sketch, depending on the degree of elaboration, can be both the final illustration of your project and its first outline. The ability to quickly visualize the volume helps designers to communicate effectively with manufacturers and customers.
