Building on workshops offered in 2016, Bruce Bondy of Bondy Studio will be leading another series of workshops for planners and designers to hone their freehand drawing and visualization skills as part of the Planner Toolbox series.
A pair of workshops taught by an award winning Architectural Illustrator is for design professionals looking to develop fundamental drawing skills. Whether a novice at drawing or a veteran seeking to hone your chops you will learn to draw with the confidence to illustrate your ideas and communicate more effectively with clients and colleagues. The workshops is are a hands-on experience with group instruction, demos, and one-on-one coaching feedback. You will come away energized and excited about drawing and with the tools to develop your visualization skills in your professional practice.
