Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop finished observational drawings for a range of art, craft and design purposes.It applies to individuals working in any area of visual communication and design who use observational drawing skills in their work. They possess well-developed manual observational drawing techniques, but may also use digital tools to produce drawings. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
