Thank you so much for your kind words!
Send me your feedback in the comments below. 🙂
“I just wanted to thank you personally for the amount of help that I’ve received from your services at the design sketchbook. And you are just so so so awesome for making this starter kit for aspiring designers like me! Just SO much awesomeness.
Thank you very much!”
Gautam, India
“It’s great for beginners and a good reminder of the fundamentals of sketching for designers.”
Durand, USA
“Incredibly useful!!
It suits people who don’t know how to start practicing Design sketch!!”
Jimmy, Taiwan“Great tool, great help. I draw better pictures now.”
Bas, Thailand“I think it’s a great reminder and the steps are well explained to start, very helpful. I really appreciate your work and your involvement in this project. Thanks!”
Elisa, FranceHey, thanks a lot for giving me the knowledge of basics and perspective. From your lessons now I can make perfect circles and ellipses – My straight lines and my hatching also improved. Thanks for guiding me.
Sankalp“It’s very helpful. It helped me correcting my straight lines.“
Catarina, Portugal“The secrets of learning how to draw explained very simply.”
Amit, India“VERY HELPFUL!
We always have to review the basics, and I really appreciated your technics!”
Nicolas, France“It´s really helpful. It is what it is, a great starter kit.
Very well explained and entertaining.”
Xicotencati, Mexico“First of all, amazing insight into some of the fundamentals of sketching. I have been drawing for a long time now but not always in the right manner. Your guide will definitely remind me to keep the healthy habit :)”
Rudy, India“I LOVED IT
It made me think about things I hadn’t thought about previously. I hadn’t even realized how basic a skill it is to draw a straight line and how you could become better at it.Practicing makes such a big difference.
And I found it easy to read and absorb. Having each section broken into such small pieces meant that I didn’t feel overwhelmed.
I feel confident to try the exercises. And I WANT to do them – instead of just staring at a blank white piece of paper :-D”
Jane, Ireland“I must say this is a Well-thought-out guide, and it is a great tool for beginners and even for artists who have been at it for a while, but just need help with drawing like an architect or draftsman.
“Great book. Keep up the great work!!”
James
“I would like to thank you for the book that you have made the effort to send me, it had really helped me fix my sketching issues and had actually helped with me conveying my ideas to my professor and fellow architecture students, and they even asked me how I learned these techniques, so I recommended your page and they are obliged to subscribe to it! 😀
Thanks from us to you :)”
Nano and his friends from architecture class from Philippines“It’s a very essential thing every designer should have I found it extremely helpful and informative”
Nischchal, India“Really like it Nicely laid out although its a really nice start I wish it had gone deeper. It would have been a great tool for my kids and some of their friends that I give lessons to.”
Steve“I think its amazing, it helps
me to understand and know how I have to do the essential parts of a sketch”
German, Colombia“It’s very helpful for a beginner and for someone who is willing to learn the basics again in order to improve on his/current skill-set. It’s very reader/user-friendly.
The topics were discussed in a very simple manner and that helped. Complicated guides or tutorials usually confuse or even intimidate the readers.”
Migo, Philippines“It´s simple, easy to read and understandable, a really good portfolio look like for the document, and the pics are self-explanatory.”
Camilo, Colombia“It is perfect for someone who has no knowledge of art and who wants to start with the basics. The layouts are crystal clear and well detailed.”
Riju, India“It is easy to understand, thus making it interesting and inspires us to want to learn more.”
Vinay, India“Well…. All I can say is that all tips and basic exercise help a lot . So for me this kit is good tool.”
Julio, Brazil“I think the Designer Starter Kit is very well developed, it has some nice notions about sketching in industrial design, and what to do with it, plus it gives you some nice insight about simple tools that can really take you sketching experience to another level.”
“It’s amazing!
I think this is the ideal way to start off sketching for a beginner.
Brilliant stuff!
Sumedh, India“I feel the Designer Starter kit will be beneficial for the people like me, who are enthusiastic about art and design.
Thanks for providing such a great platform !!!”
Manisha, India“I think that the designer starter kit is very good for an aspiring designer. I hope you will make more of these kits also for with more advanced designers. Thank you very much for the effort!”
Fadi, Netherlands“Very simple and easy to understand guides.
I’m very shy with a pen, but the guides help me to get more confident with it by practicing based on this kit.”
–“A very nice project.
As Student industrial design I like to watch it once in a while.”
Robbe, Belgium“It was really well done and nicely presented.
Everything was well explained and easy to understand for people who have just started to learn all of these things. For me, it’s a nice reminder of how some things work and I will for sure recommend it to other people!”

June 8, 2016hey chou-tac, thank you for pulling together and sharing all this great information!
i just wanted to share back a small tip with you: i used to sometimes forget to sketch everyday, but then i got a daily page-a-day calendar like these — https://goo.gl/ICXYeq
now every morning before work i peel away a page from the calendar and fill it with small sketches. i’ve also found that just getting started sketching on one page is great motivation to sketch some more ! 🙂
Chou-Tac
June 9, 2016Hey Jon, I really like your TIP! :))
I hope you are keeping all of them in a box! Would be great to see them as a collection of the year. If you do, please send me a picture of your work! 😀

Ryan
February 25, 2016Hey Chou-Tac,
Fantastic guide! I love the style and it’s really rounding off the fundamentals for me. Only thing, where do you recommend I go next to continue developing? The guide was great but I really want to keep going and continue learning to draw, but the guide stops very quickly. Do you have any more guides that build on the next step or can you recommend any books or other guides so I can continue to develop?
Thank you!
Ryan
Chou-Tac
February 25, 2016Hello Ryan,
Hello Ryan,
I am glad that the guides was helpful.
I give online courses. It’s a 7-month program where I can give you 1 to 1 feedback if you want to.
The course is now ongoing so the registration is closed for the moment. If you are interested let me know, I can add you in the waiting list.
You can have a look at this book I like. Sketching the Basics. It gives you good fundamentals of design sketching :).
Hope it helps !
Cheers,
Chou-Tac
Ryan
March 9, 2016Hi Chou-Tac,
If you could add me to the waiting list that would be amazing thank you! Do you know a rough date when the course will be re-starting? Thank you for the recommendation! I will be ordering a copy later.
Thanks for all your help, and in the meantime I will keep practicing my lines, circles and boxes!!
Cheers,
Ryan
Chou-Tac
March 9, 2016Alrighty Ryan!
About the date, I haven’t decided yet. I wonder if I should reopen before or after summer holidays. Do you have any preference yourself ?
Ryan
March 16, 2016Honestly, as soon as you have the time/availability. I loved the start guide and it’s got me back into sketching but would love to keep progressing. I bought a copy of sketching the basics. Haven’t had a chance to go through it yet but hopefully going to get a chance to sit down and work through it soon, thanks for the recommendation!
Adriana
February 24, 2016Hi Chou-Tac!
I really loved you method. I’ve drawn by my “own perspective” shyly without confidence. It’s so nice the way that you explain! I’ve done many improvements on my sketchs! Thank you!
Chou-Tac

October 13, 2015hi chou tac! Its great to know that there are people like you really helping out for beginners like us! I got directed to one of your videos for making drawing more realistic and iI found it very helpful! I thought I’d never be able to draw because my symmetry is never good. I am wondering does this geo
metry applies to character design as well? i really love to make characters but people always say my drawings are flat…
Chou-Tac
October 13, 2015Thanks for your kind words and glad it helps you make better sketches !
Symmetry is ultra important. You can have a look at “the middle line” on this video. https://www.thedesignsketchbook.com/tip-94-video-how-to-get-a-symmetrical-sketch-in-perspective-use-the-middle-line/
