Today,
I give you 1 sketching rule
you absolutely need to learn from the start.

Most beginners struggle at sketching.
Some evolve faster and you wonder why.

Let me share with you how the main Sketching rule you need to adopt now to learn drawing efficiently and so much faster than you do now.

“How long does it takes to get a good flow, if one already has the knowledge of basics?”

To get a good flow (while you know your basics),
it can come pretty fast even in a few weeks only.

When you have the right method,
you feel like taking a massive shortcut.

MASTER RULE: ITERATE

We see below: The Iteration Mindset

1. Get out of your comfort zone
2. Stay humble
3. Take (calculated) risks
4. Play

You lean a lot faster when you accept that making mistakes is part of the learning process since you know you about making “ITERATION”.

When you do a mistake,
you trace on top or redo without feeling guilty.

This is why in my tutorials and Product design sketching course, I recommend learning with a ballpoint pen.

• No pencil
• No eraser
• No ruler.

1. Get out of your comfort zone.

Remember learning how to draw is a journey,
and training your flow is a lifetime study.

A common mistake from beginners is:
You learn how to draw a car.
The day you did it well once,
you will keep drawing the same one for years!

Why?

Because you will be afraid of discovering you may fail at drawing new cars. That is a dangerous move.

2. Stay humble

You will progress, and feel happy.
Be proud of it! Celebrate! Then keep going!

“Be happy, but never get satisfied.”

– Bruce Lee

When you get comfortable with certain forms, keep discovering new ones!

• Challenge yourself to get out of “what you know”.
• Drawing with thumbnails helps you multiply your ideas and test fast
• Ugly doodles help you get rid of your perfectionism syndrome.

With all your new skills, you will impress your classmates, friends, and teachers.

That’s great!

But then, keep up the training
and think of all the new projects
you will be able to create for others.

3. Take (calculated) risks

When you are a beginner,
learn your basics FIRST.

That is your best shortcut for fast success.

Why?

Because the basics are your “SURVIVAL COMPASS”.

Take risks at drawing new forms,
new products, and more advanced stuff!

It will be fine.

If you feel stuck,
get back to your basics to find your answer.

This is how despite difficulties,
you will build a form of serenity
and keep growing your skills and level up!

Yes, you take risks. But they are all calculated.
Plus remember, what is the worst-case scenario if you do a mistake at sketching? Nothing.

4. PLAY > LOSE > CONTINUE…

Learning how to draw is like a video game.

Get this gamer mindset,
and you will get addicted
to progress in your journey at drawing.

You will want to draw more and more difficult products for fun!

Higher your skills,
the higher you will meet badass big boss.
And the higher the excitement of the game!

At every new boss,
you may fail sometimes.

GAME OVER ?

You CONTINUE.

You play again.

Keep learning at every failure until you crack the code.
Always going back to the basics.

You will beat them all one by one and save the princess. lol
(I am thinking of Super Mario Bros)

I hope you see how anyone can learn how to sketch,
and how the mindset matters to keep going on your learning journey.
