How to draw a sphere like a designer, in 1-minute video only!
I show you how you can sketch a sphere in just 3 seconds.
Why?
Because learning how to draw fast allows you as a Designer to drop your ideas instantaneously,
so you can share your ideas and get feedback from your classmates, teachers, colleagues, or boss quickly.
How to Draw a Sphere (Product Designer Technique)
If I ask 100 people to draw a sphere that shows volume,
I believe most will draw it using shading.
That’s great!
But this is a time-consuming technique.
As a designer,
speed matters to drop our ideas fast,
so you can jump from one to another as fast as possible.
In the video, I show you a super fast technique to draw a sphere,
that takes you only 3 seconds to complete.
I know you can do that “finger in the nose”!
It is a French expression meaning: Doing something easily without our hands.
Instead of shading the sphere, that would take minutes to complete,
I draw the sphere using 1 circle and 2 ellipses only.
Draw a sphere in 3 seconds easily!
The 2 common mistakes are:
- first of all, drawing using shading.
It is a legitimate technique but for a designer,
there is a faster and minimalist way to draw a sphere. - The second mistake is to think in 2D and get a shape like a flat balloon.
Turn your paper at 45 degrees
Practice time!
Draw multiple circles on your paper, then fill with 2 ellipses: Horizontal and vertical.
A sketching tip is to turn your paper at 45 degrees to draw with a natural arm movement.
Hope you enjoy it.
See you at the next TIP!
