8 September: The Basics of 3D Sketching with Dr Kanvar Nayer

In this session, participants will learn how to transform simple 2D sketches into convincing 3D concept drawings using easy-to-learn sketching and marker rendering techniques. They will explore how line weight, perspective, light, shadow, and colour can be used to create depth, form, and visual impact. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will build confidence in communicating ideas quickly and effectively on paper. No advanced drawing experience is required — just a  willingness to sketch, experiment, and have fun.
