In this video we are working on creating a series of very quick sketches of more binoculars. The important part to highlight here is to work with a pencil, developing a series of quick gestural lines that can help us define a shape for later development, video.

In this 10-minute video I am analyzing how we can draw a pair of binoculars, combining a perspective view with a top view on the same drawing. That way we will be able to transmit as much information as possible to our client in a single concept, video.

How to represent wood and other materials

Please take a look at this video that will show you how to represent exclusively with lines wood and other materials, video.

How to sketch a pair of headphones

In this demonstration we will cover how to render this pair of headsets, starting with our ellipses for both ends, video.  We worked with two gray markers and two light salmon tones.

Rendering a drinking vessel

In this video you will learn how we can draw quickly some concepts for a mug, or a drinking vessel. We explored perspective sketches, plan views and side views too,video and of drinking vessel

How to start a sketch of an exhibit

In this video you will see how we can start a sketch of an exhibit design, starting with a quick floor plan to help us visualize the main access points, video.

How to draw a sofa that looks comfortable

In this video you will learn how to work with your lines to obtain a sofa that looks soft and comfortable, video.

Showing textures on a brush with a handle

In this video we are discussing how to add different textures on an object. We are considering ABS, steel, rubber over-molds and bristles, video.

Rendering a vacuum cleaner

In this video you will learn how to render quickly a concept for a portable vacuum cleaner, video.

How to work with basic geometric shapes

Most industrial design renderings usually have combinations of these simple geometric shapes. Let's review one more time how shadows affect a cylinder, a cone and a sphere,video.

How to draw a coffee maker with proper shadows

Rendering curved objects can lead to confusion on where the light and dark tones should be. We practiced first with a simple cube and two tones of gray, to get this coffee maker done, video.

How to draw ellipses

Working well with ellipses in industrial design can be quite important, especially if we are working with objects that are cylindrical in shape. Watch this video to learn how to work with those ellipses and how to add two types of line weights and some gray marker tones, video

How to draw shadows on a floor plan

Figuring out how to do our shadows properly in a floor plan can take some practice. Take a look at this quick trick that will allow you to situate most of your shadows correctly, using tracing paper, video.

How to draw arrows in ID

Drawing arrows properly in industrial design is important, as we show movement of parts. Take a look at how we made these two arrows to show how a lid opens and how a button could be pushed,  video.

How to draw a round table and four chairs

In this demonstration you will learn quickly how to set up a drawing that would include four chairs and a circular table. Perspective here has to be maintained clearly, so that we do not get confused with so many lines, video.

How to draw a Morris chair

Today in this video you will learn how to render this wonderful Morris chair, starting with a simple box in perspective and adding detail little by little, in stages

video.

How to draw lamps

Whether we are drawing a lamp or a drinking bottle, we always have to make sure that we relate our circles in perspective (ellipses) to the horizon line, regardless of the scale of the object. In this video, you're going to learn how to relate a lamp to the horizon line, video.

How to organize callouts

Drawing and composing call outs is a skill that needs to be mastered in industrial design (and other design disciplines too).

This demonstration has three parts to it; the first two focus on drawing this sideboard and the third one focuses on the callouts.

Setting up our markers

Setting up your markers is one of the first tasks we need to do when we are ready to render using Adobe Photoshop. Please click on this link to learn how to organize them, video.
