Through your training as a technical illustrator, you will have the opportunity to learn and practice techniques that will help you to create and develop both two-dimensional and three-dimensional sketches or designs. You will gain experience in gesture drawing, layout design, perspective basics, and in using computer-assisted design software to create digital illustrations.
