Informationen zum Autor For nearly 20 years, graphic designer and illustrator David Köder (Switzerland), despite having successfully completed his design studies, did not find access to personal, coherent drawing that he had hoped for as a child. Finally, he traveled to the United States and attended several courses with Brian Bomeisler, the son of Betty Edwards. There he found the key to his own drawing talent and was able to experience how the practice suddenly made sense instead of just stress. David Köder applies his creativity in advertising for well-known companies. Klappentext Drawing is a universal language, but not everybody feels capable of giving it a go.
