Hi, I’m Swasti, your mentor for this course! Gemstones are a vital part of jewelry – they are, in fact, the soul of a design. But have you ever wondered what happens if the element meant to enhance your jewelry is illustrated poorly? It can make your design appear dull and lifeless. Many exceptional designs and portfolios are rejected simply because of poor illustration skills. That's why I’ve created this course to teach you how to beautifully illustrate and render gemstones in various cuts, shapes, and sizes. Since jewelry is a small-scale product, with gemstones sometimes as tiny as 1 mm, I’ve also included techniques for rendering both small and large gemstones.

The course includes worksheets to support your learning, and upon enrollment, you’ll receive my WhatsApp number to get answers to your course-related questions and feedback on your work. Enroll today and bring your jewelry illustrations to life!
