Later, making moodboards out of the research for easier explanation of ideas.
- Drawing: There is a difference between drawings and sketches and drafts and rough drawings. One comes to college with certain skills of drawing but now as we are focusing on hardcore designing we start with one of the most important things like principles and basics of design, a basic steady hand at drawing is a must then we move forward from there to motif and adaptation eventually moving to technical and intricate Jewellery designing.
