The sketching exercise today is about how to draw a light bulb.
We will cover the sphere and ellipses in perspective.

I was giving some corrections to one of my student Zhen Bian from China from my course Sketch like the Pros – and I thought I could share it with you too!

This quick tutorial shows you the first and easy steps to build the light bulb drawing from any angle!

Hope it helps!

If you want to see more of this short video correction, let me know by email or leave a message in the comments! And feel free to share the blog to whom it may help. 🙂

Have a nice day!
Cheers from Seoul,
Chou-Tac

Hello! I am a Product Designer from France.

If the sketching methods I’ve acquired aid me in my life and in my industrial design career, I believe that they can also help you reach your design goal as a student or professional.

My aim is to help you all along with your design projects and journey!
