Ideally, the students will draw manually and then scan and trace/re-draw their drawings using Illustrator. A good level of skills with Illustrator is required for this part.
The recordings demonstrate how to use a range of Illustrator tools to construct Orthogonal, Isometric, Planometric, One Point and Two Point perspective drawings.
Target Audience: VCD Teachers
