Hi, I’m Hendra from National University of Singapore, taking Mechanical Engineer as my major. I am currently in my 3rd year doing a design project. I find that to be able to sketch a new idea on paper helps greatly in later stage of developing it using software such as CAD/Solidwork. I’ve just received my 1st guide. It’s very insightful and am looking forward the other guides. Thank you so much for sharing:)
Hello Hendra,
Glas to have readers from Singapore, where I am now 🙂
Sketching skills for people who use 3d software is a big discussion. hehe. I an glad you want to improve your sketching skills to better communicate.
Enjoy the guides. Let me know how it goes !
Cheers,
Chou-Tac

How is life as a Packaging designer ? 🙂
Hello Chou-Tac,
I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. I work for an aviation company as a production planner. I developed a passion for line art when I purchased my first comic book at the age of six. I drew passionately every day but I was extremely self-critical (my drawings never looked exactly like the characters in my comic books) and by the age of 13 I gave it up, deciding that art was for people with innate talent – an assumption believed by many even to this day. Decades later I find that my love for drawing is as strong as ever and though I don’t presume to make a career out of it I’ve decided that I will learn this elusive craft.
Thanks to the internet and especially people like yourself who unselfishly share their knowledge I feel for the first time that it is possible to learn how to draw. What I very much like about your videos is the spontaneity and the quality of your lines, not to mention the speed in which you draw. Your video on sharpening your sense of proportion and how to draw a cup – one of your earlier videos – I found very helpful. I understand that the focus is more on industrial design but I really enjoy your character sketches and sketching on location.
There, you now know a little about myself. I look forward in receiving the lessons and if I can get passed my inhibitions I may send you some of my drawings. 🙂
thank you, and as we say here,
salut. A la prochaine,
Nick

Hi, I’m Çağlı from Turkey. I am an indutrial design student and thank you for sharing.
hello my name is nikhil ..i am a design student. doing it from small college..my question is do i need valuable college to be good designer . what can i do for becoming a good designer. need help
Hello Nikhil,
I remember, when I was at school, we said among students that no matter the school, a passionate student will always find a way. I believe that even though you come from a small college they will give you essential keys of creativity, and project. From there you will need to provide 90% of the work.
I do recommend you to surround yourself with motivated students with whom you will progress and cheer up together – and even debate about design. You will create even more opportunities to improve.
How to be a good designer is a very wide question as a designer gather quite a good number of skills. He doesn’t have to be perfect for all. The most important thing is to me about being curious, keeping that hunger of curiosity. Anybody who is curious, ask question – and sometime find answers that nobody though about. That’s how you will find innovative solution that will improve people daily life.
A designer will face a lot of people who do not believe in him or his project for x-reason. Proposing innovative ideas is not intuitive. So a good designer also need to work on how to convince other people, department (marketing, engineering…), clients to follow and support him. You will need courage to challenge yourself, stick to your position or convince people with humility.
Design sketching will definitely help you to be more creative and communicate with more confidence !
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Chou-Tac
