Course Overview - This is how we get RESULTS6:25
I'm here to help. Any questions you might have make sure you write it up under discussions I'll answer all of them!
Introduce yourself! Would love to meet you1:02

Line quality - Probably the most important thing for sketching exploration4:22
Having difficulties getting those clean smooth lines? No worries. This simple exercise is guaranteed to boost your line quality.
Ellipses - Get them right and you're gold - How to practice ellipses4:18
Sketching ellipses is one of my favorite things to sketch. They can be tricky but this lecture will help you out to get them just right,
Ellipses - Use them to sketch anything!3:14
Everything is a curve in design sketching. In this exercise we are taking it to the extremes and see what we come up with by only using ellipses!
Ellipses in perspective - It's not as hard as you might think!5:35
What about getting the ellipse perspective right? Here's how it's done.
Perspective lines are boring but necessary - Try "Cloud Sketching" instead10:48
Personally I don't like spending time setting up a perspective grid system. I use this technique instead. It's not only faster, but also way more fun!
Cloud Sketching part 2 - Why and how to use it when exploring shapes12:12
Cloud sketching explained. The idea with this techniques is to outline the design from a larger perspective by first sketching an ellipse, or "could" where the sketch will fit within. Then we will adjust as we go along and add details once we're happy with the overall perspective. It doesn't have to be perfect!

Using lines for shading - What you need to think about to get it right1:26
Sometimes you only have a pen to use for shading your sketches. This means we have to use parallell lines to visualize it.
The fastest and easiest way to explore different shapes - Blocking6:00
Want to produce a lot of design proposals fast? Try this!
You ALWAYS need to keep this in mind - Light source4:39
The single most important thing to think about when starting out with shading is the light source. Where the light is coming from will guide you and help you understand where to add lighter surfaces and where to add shadows.
Line weight, shadows and highlights - How to use it to "plant" the design8:02
It's all in the details. Add weight to your design by using proper shading and line weight.
Quiz on Shading

Glossiness - How to sketch matte and glossy surfaces. What's the difference?5:32
Getting the surface texture right is crucial when presenting a design proposal.
Texturing - What if you want to sketch something made of carbon fibre or wood?8:57
Really add realism to your design proposals with textures.
Transparent Material - This easy and quick technique will get it done in no time11:40
Glass, plastic, water.. there are a lot of materials that are transparent and this is something we should know how to visualize.

Flashlight - Start with the doodles end up with one design proposal6:10
We're starting out with shape exploration in Sketchbook Pro. Once we find a design we are happy with, it's time to jump into Photoshop to render the design.
