For beginners and aspiring visual artists

Suitable for beginners, students, designers, illustrators, and content creators. No advanced drawing experience is required; curiosity, practice, and a willingness to explore visual forms are useful. A graphics tablet is optional, not essential for all vector exercises. Ask DTCI to confirm the tools and equipment available for the current batch.
