When you made your survey, I answered that I wanted to learn how to do more professional looking/dynamic industrial design and I never checked back on your yt to see if you posted it (and I didnt see any emails from you sadly) but now I see that you posted multiple videos that help me and you don't even know how grateful I am. You made my whole year up to now because I've struggled with this so bad and it made me lose confidence in my work. I wish I had more to show my appreciation, but I promise to donate to you sometime soon. :) *Hugs*
+Orval Sifontes Actually most ball point pen are good. When I was student, I got the Papermate ball point pen. I bought it in bulk. The Atlantis M is pretty cool as well as it's retractable.
In facebook sometimes i get recommendations, but i wasn't aware of that and always thought they want to sell me something. :D but actually your content is really good and I never clicked on it

Thanks for the feedbacks :) It was one of my first video, and I didn't choose the right mic I guess - The high pitch came in like a conflict with my Macbook plug I guess. I know it's a bit annoying but I though it still preferable to publish the videos.
It's the same technique. In character design, it is essential to spot the center lines. It's no much about product design so I can't guarantee a video on this topic. I will think about it ok ? :)
hello, the phone that you drew is that in perspective? basically what im asking is does everything you draw in 3d has to be in perspective? I know orthographic views doesn't have to be but if you start drawing in 3d does it have to be in perspective?
this is an amazing video. you are very good at it. I have two questions: what kinda tablet do you have? one with a built-in screen? or the regular pen tablet? I find it very difficult to draw with a pen tablet. the other one. I'm having some problems when drawing shape transitions. let's say the product has a square shape at the bottom and it's cylindrical at the top or a rounder-ish shape. if you can make a video about it, you will be a hero. many thanks
Hello Danny, I am using a screen tablet. I do have a Cintiq 22 HD and a 13 HD as well for when I need to move from a place to an other. For regular tablet, it's difficult at start. It's normal. You will need at least about 1 week of intensive drawing to get used to it. That s how your eye looking at the screen will calibrate with your hand. About the volume you talk about, you will need to draw faded lines. Feel free to see more tutorials and article about design on the blog at www.thedesignsketchbook.com See you !
[ the Design Sketchbook ] thank you so much. I'll take a look at it. about the tablet I just have the intuos pro, and even though I've had it for quite some time, to me it still doesn't feel natural.
If you can, jump on a screen tablet ! :) I heard HUION tablet are doing well. They are much cheaper than Wacom. But I never tried myself. Worth exploring though.
+Mark Snaggledine Hello Mark, I am using a screen tablet. It's a Cintiq 22HD from Wacom. I share a bit about the tablet and my installation here: www.thedesignsketchbook.com/how-much-it-cost-me-at-ikea-to-install-the-wacom-cintiq-22hd/ Any tablet can do such drawing. Unfortunately no mouse can be so precise.
Bic is the best thing ever. They need to make the pens bleed proof. Also, not a ball point, but the paper mate flair is an excellent felt tip. I noticed you posted this two years ago..nvm
Why do you draw the contour lines in a circle like that and not on the minor and major axis? how do you decide where those lines will go on the circle? just intuition?
+Zoe Doucette hehe I accidently rewatched the video, and then came to the comments box to ask the same question. Why did you place the contour lines the way you did at 2:25
+Zoe Doucette Hello Zoe, the contour lines are good to show the surface of the volume in no time (I don't need to spend time at shading it, instead I just add a few lines only). Then, about how to find these lines : Did you see the box I draw at the beginning of the video ? They have contour lines that divide the box in 4. Each contour line cross the middle of each edge. Now, Imagine you fit in a cylinder inside the box. Magic, you have your contour lines. They are the same. :) To find out where are these lines, you can train at drawing cylinders inside a box. With practice, you will be able to draw the cylinder directly. Hope it helps !
Hello Sam, I feel Ipad Pro is a very well made tablet. However, I do have a mix feeling with it. I still prefer sketching on Wacom tablet. Some more you don't have Photoshop or Illustrator on it. Which are the softwares used by the industry. I did write an article about it here: www.thedesignsketchbook.com/why-i-might-not-sketch-on-ipad-pro/ Hope it helps ! :)
[ the Design Sketchbook ] thank you for your reply, and yes I agree with you. Just want to use sketchbook or concepts etc as a start until I get a Wacom tablet, since I'm a beginner and I would like to start and iPad is at my disposal right now :) .
I would love to just buy whatever book or product you're selling but your website puts up lots of hurdles to get to free booklet. Why can't I just give you money?

flat shape - extrude - bevel - subdivision. It was that easy and I've never thought about it!! Thank you! :)
+Orval Sifontes Actually most ball point pen are good. When I was student, I got the Papermate ball point pen. I bought it in bulk. The Atlantis M is pretty cool as well as it's retractable.
its a pleasure watching this
+Sam Hill Thank you Sam :)
I thought all the time Facebook is showing me ads for a book ;_; meanwhile it was a recommendation. Damn. Good work
Oh, what do you mean ?
In facebook sometimes i get recommendations, but i wasn't aware of that and always thought they want to sell me something. :D but actually your content is really good and I never clicked on it
Haha, glad you did it :)

I like that BG song.
Great tips.
+Nguyen Huu Anh Thanks !
Really useful!
Great video it was super helpful, but Christ what was that high pitch screeching sound?
Thanks for the feedbacks :) It was one of my first video, and I didn't choose the right mic I guess - The high pitch came in like a conflict with my Macbook plug I guess. I know it's a bit annoying but I though it still preferable to publish the videos.
Do you know how to apply this to faces and figure drawings? If so can you make a video on it?
It's the same technique. In character design, it is essential to spot the center lines. It's no much about product design so I can't guarantee a video on this topic. I will think about it ok ? :)
Thanks these tips were really helpful

Do you use a Wacom tablet + pen to draw with Sketchbook Pro?
this is an amazing video. you are very good at it. I have two questions: what kinda tablet do you have? one with a built-in screen? or the regular pen tablet? I find it very difficult to draw with a pen tablet.
the other one. I'm having some problems when drawing shape transitions. let's say the product has a square shape at the bottom and it's cylindrical at the top or a rounder-ish shape. if you can make a video about it, you will be a hero.

Excellent video, thank you. Are you using a sketch tablet or the mouse!

any ballpoint pens that you recommend (aside from the BIC) with nice line weight?
+Orval Sifontes Stabilo Stylist is awesome + it reacts well to Pantone markers.
Bic is the best thing ever. They need to make the pens bleed proof.
Also, not a ball point, but the paper mate flair is an excellent felt tip.

What do you think of the iPad Pro tablet and apple stylus pencil as a start? Thank you for your content

I would love to just buy whatever book or product you're selling but your website puts up lots of hurdles to get to free booklet. Why can't I just give you money?
hop la ! ok bon
Hehe :)
photoshop is garbage compared to sketch book pro when it comes to drawing ... thx for the demo
HAHa Mr Snoop, Photoshop can also do very well ! It's just that by default the brush is not parameter to make sweet lines :).
I wish content creators would stop using such generic music... great video otherwise
Thanks Victor. I see what you mean. However, the other side of the coin is these beautiful musics help RUclips creators to get started :).
