I’m a student in 3D computer graphics for games and film, but want to improve my artistic skills as well in order to be properly able to get my vision across.
I have been drawing since I was a kid but never took it seriously enough to learn/study how to draw properly. My drawings still look like a kid’s sketches. I regret wasting so much time as I want to be an artist who has the skill to paint whatever comes to mind.
I also want to explore the field of Concept art; master environments and character design later on.
I was trying to draw something as simple yet highly basic and important as “straight lines” and failed to get them correctly. I looked all over YouTube to find someone who can teach why my lines are bad. And I can say your channel is the only one that truly is helping me with the basics of: lines, circles and ellipses.
And omg! Last night I watched the tutorial on how to draw ellipses and it has finally solved all the issues I had! like magic! my ellipses are not pancakes anymore!
So, I find that designers are really great with such fundamentals so I thought I could use some extra help with this guide. Thank you for all the effort, you are really helpful 🙂
Hello Sam,
I am glad that you could correct your elbow position when you draw ellipses.
It’s so wonderful when you got this “Eureka” moment when you got it!
Drawing is all about simple things that we need to adjust here and there to make a huge difference in our drawing results:)
By the way, you will find some content about Concept art on the blog.
Here, I share with you some Concept Art TIPS here: https://www.thedesignsketchbook.com/how-to-draw-like-a-concept-artist-inspired-by-bike-tech/
I do concept art for fun, because I am amazed by their work, and it inspires product design

J’ai commencé à dessiner il y a 2 ans. Je suis autodidacte. Le dessin est rapidement devenu une de mes passions.
Sur quelles sortes de projets travaillez-vous?
Je suis allée en suisse plusieurs fois. I love it!!

HELLO! I’M GABE.
I’M FROM BRASIL.
I’M AN ART TEACHER AND UNPROFESSIONAL DESIGNER.
I WANT TO IMPROVE MY DRAW SKIILS STARTS FROM THE FUNDAMENTALS.
Hello Chou Tac.
I’m a former student of yours
I started the sketch like the pros course but sadly never completed it, I’d speare you the long story and just say I’m back now…I still have a passion for drawing. I tried to see if could access the course link sent to my former account emansjo247@gmail.com but sadly I couldn’t…I really want to draw again, what can I do?
Hi Ojo,
Happy you are back with your passion for drawing!
I have sent an email to you so you can get started. :).
I also need to know moreabout technique. I watch video and the Pro Designer is using Ipad for sketch book, I wonder do we do like that with book and pencil? because guess drawing on Tablet and notebook is different. Should I start with tablet or sketchbook and pencil?
Hi Uyen,
If you use a screen tablet like a iPad or Wacom Cintiq, it gets very similar to the process on drawing with paper.
There are no perfect time to start drawing on tablet. However, drawing on paper is a must. It gets intuitive, and you can draw anywhere you want. It’s spontaneous. Take a pen, draw.
While on tablet is: take your tablet, your pen, on the tablet, open the app, choose your canvas size… Ok it’s fast, but everyday… a regular pen will make a difference. 😉
WANTED TO LEARN RENDERING TECHNIQUES
Me too. I watch video and the Pro Designer is using Ipad for sketch book, I wonder do we do like that with book and pencil?
Hi, I’m Michelle from the US and I am unsure what direction to take when it comes to studies. All I know is I have a passion for art and learning so I will continue to create. Would you mind sending the e-book directly to me? Other people have mentioned they didn’t receive the e-book either. I am looking forward to using this e-book
To the ones who didn’t get the book, i tried with some diferent mail accounts and i only could get it with a gmail account
I was able to download it today using a non-gmail account. I put in a temporary email and it worked today for some reason
Thank you for the update Michelle.

Have tried to get the workbook several times but not received it via email. Can you please send it directly to me? Am looking forwards to using this with my students.
I am studying Design and Technology teaching at University and I need to learn how to draw – this looks like a good method
I’m a Production Engineer, I need to be required basic drawing skills.
Hello, from the US. I’ve always loved drawing and doodling as a kid. Drawing allowed me to be expressive about how I’d feel, but a lot of the time it was just I thought looked cool. As years passed I still drew but not as much as I’d wish. Luckily, recent events have led me to rekindle my passion for art. Now I’ve been left with a lot of ideas and concepts that I would love to see on paper, and through studying from books and teachers I can express them much better than I did as a kid.
That i s great you go back to your passion.
Your ideas and concepts will definitely take forms with a good study of the basics of sketching :). Welcome Mackey!
it is a fentastic book
Thanks Praveen,
I am glad it helps you!
