​Please join Draw With Me, a live, monthly drawing meetup for creative people!

• ​ONLY 25 DROP-IN SPOTS AVAILABLE

• ​​​This is usually for my patrons only, but I am now offering Drop-in tickets here on Luma for folks who just want to join once in a while.

• ​​​If you want to attend more regularly, join as a Drawing Buddy on Patreon for $8/month.

​For this session, we’ll explore what I call persuasive drawing. This comes from something I learned in art school called visual rhetoric. In speech, we know about rhetorical devices like metaphor, hyperbole and paronomasia (puns), but did you know we can also apply these to visual communication? In fact, we illustrators do it all the time without knowing it.

​For example, the invite image for this DWM visual pun, a bad dad joke playing on the phrase, "figures of speech". Get it? 😜

​Like verbal rhetoric, persuasive drawing is all about communicating visual ideas in more creative, impactful ways than just stating the plain facts. By learning how persuasive drawing works, you can more intentionally use known rhetorical devices to come up with stronger concepts in your art.

​This month's session will be more about ideas than execution, so all you’ll need this time is basic drawing supplies: a sketchbook and pencil, or the digital equivalent.
