Bruce Morser, a freelance illustrator with a unique and highly technical colored pencil technique, teaches the course Elements of Drawing: A Creative Approach at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, Washington. (Unfortunately, the spring 2010 class is full.)
“Drawing is a wonderful skill, but it also serves as a key for unlocking personal creativity. Many artists speak of great ideas emerging once their pencil starts moving across the paper. Each of the 10 class sessions will be divided between instruction in the basic skills of drawing, as well as an exploration of the creative process through techniques that enhance your own sense of creativity. Whether you’re refocusing on drawing or have no prior experience, this is your class.”
Morser has created images for a variety of clients including Apple, National Geographic, NASA, Nike, Starbucks, Smithsonian, Boeing, Microsoft and IBM. His subject matter ranges from technical to medical to fashion and portraiture.
Despite the ‘no prior experience necessary’ disclaimer, from the quality of his draftsmanship I’m sure even a seasoned professional would get something out of this class.
Beautiful! Even though it’s technical illustration, it has a wonderful, almost fine art quality to it. Love the nuances that can only come from something rendered by hand.
As many of us use electronic tools these days, to aid in precision and editing, much of it has grown antiseptic in it’s look and feel.
Nice work, Bruce.

Great stuff, I have long admired Bruce’s work from my earliest days flipping through the art directories in college. Perhaps he can do a longer interview?
I’ll add my ‘vote’ for a longer interview. Amazing, beautiful work.
