Incredibly therapeutic and helpful as a designer, stressing through product sketches. It's absolutely paramount to try and stay calm and relaxed when sketching. Your point about not getting bogged down with an idea and not treating it like a perfect artwork is probably the best advice you could give and something I'm still working on. Thanks for the video man!
I come from a family that saw my talent in drawing. I won several awards and got a scholarship in art. I was taught to learn this to improve drawing thanks for everything man.
My art class just started covering construction lines and I was getting really frustrated because I just couldn't grasp how to "draw" an item into a box. But the way you put it, "just draw a box and keep doing that until you're comfortable with it BEFORE you do the object" made me a lot happier. Like yeah, okay, I can draw a box! Thank you so much for the tutorial, really appreciate it.
i love this! my teacher introduced me to your videos and now i cant stop watching you! i want to design interior items for a living and this is helping a lot thank you so much!!
I am studying object drawing...and this video helped me understand how to draw objects through construction lines ...I was struggling so much because it was new for me and directly we had to draw objects but this helped me understand the form of the object
not only the knowledge you are sharing is great, but the exemples you shows are awesome aswell. I literally screenshoted every single one of them. looks great to train !
I remember when I was at the beginning of my design school program and watching all of these videos from this channel, and aimlessly drawing shapes all the time... now two years later it seems I lost the passion, or shifted focus... it was so heart-warming... Glad to see the channel is doing fine! You deserve it!
Thank you.... I really appreciate this. I hope you find the passion again, or you’ve found something awesome to replace it. Really grateful for your kind words.
I appretiate tutorials like this. This man explains his techniques in a calming way. I wish there were more Art Tutorials like this out there, love it. 👍
Seeing this video for the who knows amount of time, I'm able to explain what makes construction lines so easy after using them constantly. You use the cube then after draw lines for when you are going to use a final line, To make it stand out and make people notice the lines that were required to make it more easy and understandable of how that person was able to draw it. In this video, You see PDM, Draw a cube first, Then add mostly just 2 light lines then after add confident heavy font lines which were in fact drawn with the product in mind. Very interesting concept, I struggled understanding what made construction lines to fustrating. 😂
Hey Dude, I wanted to thank you for your videos. After couple of years in IT background and quick prototyping, I am finally pursing my dream of becoming and Industrial Designer. I have been chasing tutorials like mad dog until I came to your channel. I have learned a lot from your channel. I wished you posted more often. I would happily join your patreon. Thank you so much for your effort!
Vivek Gupta thank you, that’s really kind. Really appreciate your support and it’s great to hear that my videos are helpful. Keep tuned in, there’ll be more! Best of luck with your change of direction! Let me know how it goes.
thanks to you for making this video, very inspirational! I always think i can't draw even i really like and often have creative ideas, this video gives me confidence to learn and practice. pls keep posting as you go.
Wonderful video. Extremely informative and exactly what I was searching for on RU-vid. Please continue to create and share this kind of quality content. Thank you for posting this for all to see.
Your tutorials are great. Do you have an online course in product designing? If not, I am sure you will get a lot of learners interested in this field, if you launch one. Thanks for your time.
Rajesh Pillai thank you. Really appreciate you taking the time to contact me. I don’t have an online course yet, maybe at some point though. Honestly, I’m not sure I know how that works with RU-vid yet. When I’ve uploaded more resources to my website, and got that looking a bit better, I’ll do some research. Thank you!
thats exactly what I was searching for! Keep going :-) would be great if you post also CopicMarker tutorials for shading and gloss/mattedness. Greeting from Switzerland
Daviidihno thank you very much for taking the time to comment!! It’s very much appreciated. I’m planning to get to copic markers soon. I have a couple of other videos on the way first, but then on to copic. Thank you!
This short video comes to prove, that anyone who wants to become a designer of any kind - industrial designer or an architect or a clothing designer or any designer - they have to be able to have artistic skill .Not only they have to have a talent and artistic skill, but they have to spend sufficient time developing, drawing from nature, taking art classes, and being very diligent with that. Before they even touch a CAD system. Because there is no such a thing as a good industrial designer who cannot draw a perfect line or a perfect 3-D object by hand. This is a note to all young wanna be industrial designers - just remember your schedule tends to be equally good by hand. The computer .With all the wonderful CAD systems is only a tool. Just like the pencil.Any industrial designer, or architect, or fashion designer have to master both tools equally well.
Thanks for your feedback. It’s very difficult to cover all bases and appeal to everyone, but I’ll keep trying. Just a suggestion though, you might play the video back at a slower speed to watch the process more easily. Hope this helps.
Rahul Devilish Hi, many thanks. I recommend becoming comfortable with a range of tools. Pen, pencil and biro. I use each for my work (and marker pen). I’m using biro a lot in my videos at the moment because there’s no going back/rubbing out. This encourages the designer accept that there will be mistakes on the page, and not to care. A more relaxed approach when designing is really valuable. We shouldn’t care about mistakes, amongst the mistakes will be our really good ideas. Designing is about worry free idea making. It is not about making artwork. I think I’ll make a video to reinforce this! Thanks for the inspiration!
Is it standard practice to do sketches in 2-point perspective? If so, why 2-point perspective rather than isometric or some other parallel drawing system? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Erik Binnix Two point perspective and isometric drawing are similar in that they show three sides of the shape. Most designers favour two point perspective because isometric takes more time (if using a ruler, which many do) and is less realistic. We see things in perspective, so sketching in perspective looks more natural. Working quickly as a designer is a good skill to acquire, so working with a ruler is to be avoided in many cases.
@@productdesignermaker Thank you so much! Im just a student hoping to become an engineer and I wanted to refine my sketching. I have been watching lot of videos and this one was really helpful. I have also been trying to see what types of sketches I should be practicing and I think the answer is all of them :P You also just answered a big question I had specifically in the world of product design. (Side note - really impressive how you respond to every comment, thats super cool from a YT creator)
Erik Binnix thank you. Sounds great that you are looking beyond your lectures and tutorials to work on your sketching. Also, I don’t think you should refer to yourself as ‘just’ a student, you are the future! :)
am not fully understand of what you're saying bicoz am not native english but... in summary, the construction line is just lines inside the box isnt it? its a line that helps breaking down the idea its like a ruler hmm idk
Abdul Ghani the construction lines are like scaffolding that we put up to build a building. They’re like a wire frame. We draw the light construction lines to act like a framework for heavier lines. When we feel we have our construction lines in the right place, we can draw heavier lines. I hope this helps.
Imagine this guy showing his students his own video for work You should make professional paintings and sell them By how many times did you speed this up in editing?
OTGill ! Thanks Ollie. Biro for a couple of reasons.... it shows up so well on video (graphite bounces the lighting back at the camera without careful positioning). Biro also gives a big range of contrast which helps distinguish between the construction lines and the bolder ones. Also it is good to develop these skills using different tools.... pen, pencil, biro, marker etc. Finally, you can’t rub out biro.... regardless of which medium we use, we want take rubbers/erasers out of the equation.... using biro encourages us to make marks/commit our ideas without being able to fall back on a rubber. The key being that we aren’t trying to be neat or produce an artwork, we are trying to communicate our thoughts and ideas!
Afaf Zabaneh Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback. It’s hard to know where to pitch it, to keep people’s attention. I’m planning to upload all the drawings to here www.productdesignermaker.com/downloads (soon), so that anyone interested can get a closer look. Again, I really appreciate the feedback, thanks.
Ok, I am not an artist, this is not a work of art. This box will not control, enthrall, or captivate. I merely draw , connect, and erase poorly drawn verticle and horizontal lines that converg. I am a lineboy. Ok I'm ready. Gimme a pencil.
2Remain :Entranced sounds good to me. I’d get rid of the eraser though! Who cares if there are a few lines in ‘the wrong’ place? We’re designing.... we’re thinking aloud on paper!
Trouble is that when my videos are any longer, people stop watching. RU-vid doesn’t promote videos which have low retention rates. No promotion, no audience, no incentive to make videos. It’s a shame but each video takes many hours to produce and when they get such little response, it’s difficult to find the reason to continue. With all that said, I am planning a comeback, after I’ve finished writing, filming and producing a couple of courses.
