In this focused workshop, students will learn practical methods for measuring and drawing in accurate proportion, creating convincing depth, and understanding how space is constructed on the page.

Topics include foreshortening, overlapping forms, linear and atmospheric perspective, establishing a consistent light source, and shading techniques using graphite.
