Additional Benefits

 

Learn to Sketch with Frank was created to teach the vital skill of sketching in the design process. Sketching is the language of design, it allows us to communicate our design ideas quickly and in their purest form; words can only take us so far.

Frank firmly believes sketching is the ABC of design and to be a great designer, you need to value the whole A-Z process.

“If we skip the process of sketching and jump straight to computers, we lose the skill of being able to give something humanistic value and will never understand the true beauty of design”
