SQ1 CON CHICAGO 2018 – Sketching Conference

SQ1 CON CHICAGO 2018 – Sketching Conference

Hey Manooshies,

In July I had the chance to be invited as a speaker to the SQ1 CONFERENCE in Chicago. One of the greatest events on the topic of sketching where I met many young American talents and tried to help them push their skills to the next level, design better products and live from their passion. God bless America! (including Hector)

As for me I worked with students and try to teach them some of the simplified techniques from my course. Really trying to break down the steps of sketching so it becomes clear and easy to reproduce them. It was a GREAT experience so I want to thank all those who joined my workshops as I really enjoyed it and hope it was useful for you guys too.
