Level up your design sketches in 3D with this fun 2-point perspective exercise! | TIP 201

Hello guys !

How are you doing today ?

I am very happy to show you today an exercise that is to me just compulsory to go through if you want to draw well in 3D. It’s something I feel super fun and I love do it as a concentration game. I call this the “Move the dot technique” !

For this tutorial, you have to go through the Designer Starter Kit. Make sure you download the free Design sketching guides first.

After this 13 minutes video, you will drastically start level up your 3D vision. You will learn how to use a ultra basic rule of geometry to transform a simple box to a complex form. (Using diagonals to spot the center of a square) It’s a sketching technique that you will apply in any sketch you do for product design. Why ? Because Industrial design sketching is all about simple geometry. I invite you to practice it in a calm environment. Take your time at start. As what will matter most will be your level of concentration. You are gonna train your focus.

Repeat this exercise with different angles and soon you will do it easier and easier, but also sketch your own products faster and faster. 

Let me share with you some sketches form my student Lucas to whom I have given personal feedbacks. 🙂 If you are also interested to join the course, send me an email at [email protected]
