Introduction
Interior designers develop their ideas from relationship diagrams into floor plans and then into perspective drawings to show clients. Our Hand Drawing for Interior Design course will focus on drawing up a room or space. Through tutorials and demonstrations, you will learn how to produce quick freehand sketches of your design ideas, as well as exploring a range of different rendering techniques.
