Should Graphic Designers Learn to Draw?

Drawing is for me the one thing I think that is tied to the creative world and that I managed to keep as a hobby... Then I thought again and realized that I don't need to put pencil to paper to put to use the skills drawing gave me.

Here is a little written piece I did yesterday to present Assignment 04 of the Design Dojo. Which is going to be a drawing assignment: THIS IS DRAWING [010]

Also made this fully drawn poster, with a Wacom, mind you, but still I think it's cool!

You can check the time lapse for this piece on the Instagram post!

The full assignment brief is up already on the Design Dojo Discord server

Please let me know your thoughts on this idea! I would love to read them.

Should Graphic Designers Learn to Draw?

You do not need to draw well to be a good graphic designer, but it helps, although it is not the drawing itself that helps...

Why Ninjas are better than Samurais 🥷™

So, what’s the fixation with ninjas all about? Why am I always saying 'What’s good, ninjas? 🥷' and throwing ninja references everywhere? 🥷🥷 well let me explain... Back in design...
