I want to learn Industrial Design for make prototyping
Yes, that is definitely essential for industrial design prototyping.
Hello. I’m 59 and leave in France (Lyon). I start to do Raku pottery and would like to sketch my pieces before sculting them. And look for basic technics for that.
And I found your blog by “neo-ceramist” blog (it is in French) : https://neo-ceramistes.com/le-dessin-le-meilleur-ami-du-ceramiste/
Thank you for this blog, tips, etc
Salut Jean-Michel,
Je suis francais aussi. Je viens de Troyes, mais j’ai etudie a Paris et j’habite en Asie du Sud Est depuis plus de 10 ans deja.
C’est superbe la Raku Potterie.
Merci pour cette decouverte.
I’m from the U.S., I like the blog and want to get the free e-book from you, but it never comes to my e-mail. Yes I looked in all folders including spam, but don’t see any e-book from here. I’ve been drawing for years, but look to find new things all the time and that’s how I found this also. Please send me the e-book if u can
Hi Gino,
Did you well receive the book? 🙂
I have just sent you an email with the book.
Hope you find plenty of new drawing techniques and beyond on the blog.
Cheers,

I want to learn in order to create better paintings
I discovered the blog by searching How to Draw ellipses, im taking an art class currently
My shapes are off and I’m not good at drawing
Learning all i can to perfect my drawing and sketching practices
Hello Ms Zulma
That is great you learn better drawing for better paintings.
That will definitely help you level up!
If you learn how to draw with a 3 dimension approach (such as product design techniques),
you will be able to create your own painting without reference for example.
Hong Kong
Love HK.
Went there so many times when I used to work in China.
Hello my name is Mariana Hensley I’m from Texas! I’m teaching myself how to draw and sketching is harder than I thought I discovered this on Pinterest
Hi Marlena,
How is Texas?
If one day I move to the US, I may think of Texas.
People tell me great things about it.
But I have never been myself. (I only went to Cali, Boston, NY)
Glad you discover my drawings on Pinterest.
I hope you find tutorials you like on the blog!
Cheers,

Hi Christina,
Welcome on board 🙂
You are starting an amazing journey!
I’m from the PNW in the USA, I’m almost 30 years old now.
I want to learn to sketch figures, characters, and scenery/environments. Especially figures & characters though.
I’m discovered this all through YouTube.
The problems I’m facing are fist of all consistency in practice. I struggle to build the habit of drawings because I’m scared of failure.
From the blog I would like to learn how to draw fundamental shapes and forms, and how I can improve my general line accuracy in both traditional and digital media (pencil paper & tablet PC).
Hi Gabriel,
Yah I understand the feeling of fear of failure.
To counter this, you may think of which is more scary:
Fear of failure? or Fear of regret for not trying?
At the end of the day, you will realise you have everything to gain, nothing to lose at trying 🙂
Plus, by training with the right techniques, you will for sure do progress.
And the happiness you will feel for every small victory will give you the courage and motivation to keep going.
I’m not saying you won’t face frustration at all, but sometimes you will, and you will see them as challenges to tackle!
By the way I wrote a blog article I have just published about how to draw daily:
https://www.thedesignsketchbook.com/draw-your-way-to-happiness-9-tips-to-make-art-a-daily-habit/
Hope it helps! 🙂
Cheers,

Hi. I’m Liana. I’m 58 and I live in British Columbia, Canada (the heart of the Rockie mountains). I discovered you on YouTube when I was searching for lessons. Thank you for your wonderful channel.
I’ve been practicing drawing and watercolour for four years now. I am very pleased with my progress but lately I am just not making time!
My biggest struggle is still perspective and proportion.
Thank you for asking
Hello Liana,
Wow Rockie Mountains, it might feel good to have such beautiful views. 🙂
For perspective and proportion,
you can go through the Designer starter kit for a great introduction.
After some good practice, it will become more and more intuitive, like a 6th sense. 🙂
I do also enjoy watercolor when I travel. It could be on paper, or even Photoshop.
May I share with you a drawing session with watercolours I had with my friend in Singapore:

Hi Don,

Hi! My name is Tanja and I’m from Serbia. It looks so easy watching you drawing so I would like to give it a try. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Bye!
Hello Tanja,
That’s a great compliment. Thank you.
It reminds me a Philosophy teacher who gave us the example of a ballerina.
The day she performs amazingly, is when people feel that it looks so easy.
You kind message reminds me this, even though I am a very bad dancer!
Hehe.
Hope you will learn plenty of tips and techniques in the blog. 🙂

Hello. I am Elena and I am from Greece. I am a graphic designer. I am over 40 and I would like to learn to draw as an extra skill.
I can not recall how I found you in the first place.
A problem I am facing is that I lost my fluency in drawings. Any help is really important and appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello Elena,
Glad you wanna add drawing as an extra skill.
It is such a great way to communicate visually ideas.
To regain fluency in drawing, I invite you to try this video tutorial on How to draw Random products!
https://www.thedesignsketchbook.com/tip-138-how-to-start-drawing-anything-better-in-4-steps-with-the-random-product-technique/
It helps building up confidence.
Please, let me know how it goes:).
