Course overview - What you will learn in this course4:20
Welcome! This lecture is a quick overview of the course content and introduction of your teacher

The basic tools used in this course3:40
This lecture will give you an overview of the tools you need for this course.
Struggling sketching straight smooth lines? Try this4:19
Sketching smooth lines is something many students are struggling with. In this lecture, I walk your through the technique I use to keep those lines nice and smooth.
Accuracy practice - Learn to sketch perfect curves6:16
When it comes to product design sketching, almost every line you will make will have some degree of curvature to it. In this lecture, we'll talk about how to perfect those curves.
The easy way to draw circles4:12
Usually when we want to sketch nice circles, we use templates. It can be for the wheels of a car or any circular design we are working on. But we don't always carry templates with us so we want to be able to sketch nice circles free hand. Here's how to do that!
Ellipse practice from narrow to wide, what to think about4:04
Sketching ellipses is pretty important when designing products. In many cases, we start out by outlining the proportions of a design by using ellipses. In this lecture, I'll walk you though a few exercises on how to improve your ellipse sketching.

Basic perspective exercise and how to easily sketch radiuses5:49
Now that we got the basics of sketching lines, circles and ellipses down, let's step it up a bit by looking at some basic perspective sketching.
Let your creativity loose and combine simple design elements into products4:51
Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves thinking of the finished design in out heads even before we got a single line down on paper. Instead, let's try and break the design down into simple geometries.
How to use lines to visualize shading and shadows4:45
Using parallel lines can be very effective when visualizing shading. In this lecture, I'll show you a few ways you can shade your sketch using nothing but lines.
Product design sketching techniques

Block out the design using simple geometries, then add details9:07
Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves thinking of the finished design in out heads even before we got a single line down on paper. Instead, let's try and break the design down into simple geometries.
Transportation design proportions - SUV5:47
In this lecture, you will learn the basic proportions of an SUV and how to simplify the process of sketching one.
Transportation design proportions - Minivan5:10
In this lecture, you will learn the basic proportions of a minivan and how to simplify the process of sketching one.
Transportation design proportions - Sports car10:37
In this lecture, you will learn the basic proportions of a sports car and how to simplify the process of sketching one.

Requirements

Pen & paper and a willingness to learn and have fun!

Description

Hi, I'm Marouane, industrial designer originally from Stockholm, Sweden, now living and working in South Florida.

In this course, I'd like to show you a few sketching techniques I've used throughout the years as an industrial designer.

These techniques aren't very common in design sketching school books. I've picked them up from friends and colleagues from different background in the design industry and compiled them into this course.

Who is this course for?

This course is for you who want to develop your sketching skills. Maybe you're a fashion designer or industrial design student who use sketching to visualize your ideas or maybe you're just starting out and want to learn the basics of design sketching, then this course is for you.

What will I learn in this course?

You will learn how to improve your line quality, exercises for sketching smooth lines and curves, how to sketch a perfect circle free hand, practice ellipses in perspective, introduction to product design sketching, form idea generation, how to use simple geometries to simplify the design process and so much more!

Thank you for taking interest in my course, I hope to see you inside.

Your instructor,

Marouane

Who this course is for:

This course is for you who want to improve your core sketching techniques. Maybe you are just starting out with design sketching or you've been sketching for years and feel struck in your development. This course will help you get back to the basics and build from there.
