I like to repurpose junk and turn it into useful products for myself to use. I spend to much time realizing after days of trying my ideas are flawed. Hoping if I can draw it I won’t waste so much of myself being a failure and maybe just once have an idea, have the materials and with a planned sketch actually do something right. Perspective grids make sense but drawing the thing on the grid doesn’t. Can’t even get a box to go right after hours and hours and so many videos. I googled PDF download on product design perspective
Hi Cheryl,
Drawing will definitely help you visualize and test multiple proposals fast.
I have published recently a video on how I recommend you to draw something new 4 times. The 1st time being an “ugly sketch” to drop down the main elements without worrying about perspective or details.
Then you will redraw a better version of it. And so on. 🙂
It is called “Iteration”.
And that remove the stress of doing perfect sketches.

Hello
I’m from France aged 64.
Although I used to be a graphic designer/art director I don’t feel “fluent” with sketching .
Lately i’ve been doing pottery and I really feel the need to sketch my designs before working with clay. I would like to be able to sketch my ideas with different point of vues.
Coucou Ariane,
Comment ca va?
Glad you mentioned the term “fluent” about sketching as it is also a language we use to communicate. 🙂
A bientot!

PS: Je suis francais.
1) USA, 31
2) I want to learn how to sketch to help with seeing in 3d and breaking down images into simple forms first for prop for creature character design.
3) I discovered from the YouTube channel description from watching a design sketch video.
Bonus: the problem I have is being unable to transform 2d images into 3d forms. I’d like to build up my 3d visualizing skills.
Hi Roshaun
That is such a cool name you have!
Yes, knowing how to break down things into simple forms is the key!
To help you go from 2d to 3d, you got to start with perspective.
I invite you to try this sketching tutorial:

About how you discovered the blog, was the sketching video you watched was from me?
Otherwise, do you remember who?
Thank you!
I come from south africa and 19 years old. I really enjoy sketching as I find it as another way of expressing your emotions and also showing how you personally see the world from your point of view.
Hi Nqobile,
Love your name!
It is the first time I see it.
That is a wise approach to art and design that I fully agree with you.
We feel good when we draw. And we tell stories with emotion through our lines.
🙂
Cheers,

Teacher who uses art in most every activity.
Also getting a little older and noticing a decline in fine motor skills…since I love drawing especially just basic shapes and designs I want to learn to do so in a structured way.
I don’t remember how I came across your site. I think I was just Googling one day and came across your site. I really like your style of teaching.
Hello Amy,
That is great you are noticing your motor skills change.
Most people do not, and even if they do notice, won’t do anything to change the curve.
With practice, it will be all fine.
You make me realise that practicing drawing is somehow like going to gym regularly.
See you!
