Hello my name is Faith from Nigeria, I am a computer science student,I normaly have ideas about products but don’t have idea about how to explain it because it’s just in my head, I researched and discovered industrial design. Although I am good with using generative AI method but it can be limiting. Hopefully this ebook will give me a good start.
Hi Faith,
I am glad you decide to explore sketching after experiencing AI and its limitations.
Learning sketching will definitely give you wings!
And when you will combine both Sketching + AI,
you will will be happy to communicate your ideas in your head visually. :))
I’m francesca. I’m 79 years old. I live in Chicago. My dad was a good artist. I liked to draw when I was young but was not very good. I’d like to try sketching.
Hi Francesca,
Sketching is a great way to express your art fast and with plenty of expression.
Good or no good,
the most important is you have fun.
Having fun is the greatest shortcut to express your ideas and imagination!
That will naturally fuel your desire to learn and improve more day by day.
Hi, I’m 55 and in Las Vegas. I’m a paralegal and I started doodling on my ipad during the pandemic. Got into neurographic art (got some pretty spot on predictions from this), and now into sketching on paper. I can’t wait to paint on canvas! I’ve always loved art and always had the desire to draw but was always intimidated. Practicing everyday helps. My problem is that I’m not good with lights and shadows and I’m self-taught. I’d love to learn to draw anything and everything. I found your blog because I was looking to see which brand is the best for ballpoint pen sketching. I’d love to have a book full of sketches that I’m proud of.
Hello Carony,
Thank you for the Neurographic art discovery. I didn’t know about it.
You said you feel intimidated sometimes. This morning, I was reading in the book Daily Creative (Todd Hennry) about starting from a random stroke.
Basically, we always wonder how to start, and we feel afraid of sabotage the white canvas.
To unlock that, just set you start with a random stroke, touch of colors for example.
As long as you start, your journey of filling your book full of sketches is on the way! 🙂

Hi, I´m from Portugal, I’m 50 years old.
I´m an architect and I have been drawing since I know myself but have a few hangups regarding drawing and sketching.
I found Design Sketching a few years ago ( I was already fascinated with automotive design drawings I saw every now and then) so I started looking it up on the internet and bumped into your videos and blog.
Problems:
Getting myself to practice more and become more fluid not so caught up in perfection…
learn more techniques to get my drawings more “realistic” without going into too much detail.
Hi Nuno,
Glad you love the art of sketching.
I also enjoy rawing things without going too much into details, and whenn suggesting things become beautiful.
To get started, you may enjoy the Random product technique that helps you draw with fluidity:

I’m a sometime oil/water colour painter ,but am frustrated by my poor scaling ability.
Have done a bit of pencil work with moderate success.
I started all this as a young child, but then life got in the way.
Suddenly I’m an old bloke, and now have time to spend trying to correct all the stupid errors so evident in my work.
I live now in country NSW, Australia
Hi Andre,
It is ok to do mistakes.
We need to go through them, no matter our age.
Age does not make us better in drawing.
Practice and study yes. 🙂
Don’t be too harsh on yourself.
Embrace mistakes as a daily lesson to keep improving.
We all do!
I hope this article may help you to make mistakes your friends:

Search “design sketching” at Google search.
My sketch looks childish.
I hope to learn more ways( maybe formulas) to modify/to add on to my sketches to be more impressive!
Hi Aris,
It is fine if your drawing looks childish.
If you can successfully convey your ideas, it matters most.
Then, if you can better draw them, your visual communication skills will surely skyrocket! 🙂

3: I like drawing, for my job it would be handy to draw something fast and show client’s what I’m thinking.
Hello Manhong,
Yes, that would be a considerable opportunity to discuss live while sketching ideas. 🙂
It makes the whole experience interactive for your client.
Drawing is great
