From Hesitation to Creative Freedom: Daphne’s Sketching Transformation with Sketch Like The Pros

Introduction

Hello! It’s Chou-Tac
I’m happy to introduce Daphne Muller, an Interactive Product Designer student from the Netherlands whose journey with Sketch Like The Pros is a true inspiration.

After realizing that a few sketching classes weren’t enough to master this essential design skill, Daphne committed to daily practice and embraced the course’s clear, encouraging lessons.

In just a year, she’s not only developed her line quality and creative confidence, but also discovered the freedom and professionalism that strong sketching brings to every designer.

Daphne Realizing the Value of Sketching for Designers

Three years ago, I took a sketching course from Martijn.
That’s when I realized that being able to sketch gives you freedom, new opportunities, and a powerful way to generate and present ideas.

Showing your sketching skills also demonstrates professionalism as a designer. But, of course, you can’t learn how to sketch in just seven classes, so I knew I needed to keep developing.

Embracing Daily Practice and Overcoming Hesitation

That’s when Martijn recommended Chou-Tac’s Sketch Like The Pros course.
At first, I was hesitant because of the time commitment, but I quickly realized that daily sketching is the only way to truly learn.

Now, a year after enrolling, I’m so glad I made the decision.

Encouragement, Clarity, and Continuous Improvement

Sketching has become a great way to relax for me.
Chou-Tac’s tips are always encouraging, and the videos are super clear. I learn something new every time.
Not only have I improved my line quality, but I’m no longer hesitant to draw imaginary products.

Personalized Feedback and Professional Growth

On top of that, Chou-Tac provided valuable feedback for my bachelor project and even coached me on presenting my ideas verbally.

If you want to dramatically improve your designer skills, you should definitely enroll in Sketch Like The Pros.
