Discover the Heart of Automotive Design

In this five-day workshop, you’ll learn how to sketch a car from scratch. We’ll dive into what makes those lines sing: how to lock in crisp proportions, hint at emotion with a single curve, and add the little details that give a vehicle its character. You don’t need a fancy background or any special experience—just grab a pencil and join us. By the end, you’ll be able to turn a simple idea into a finished sketch you can be proud of.
