What will you learn in Introduction to Design Sketching Course
- Use industrial-design sketching techniques to draw objects straight from your imagination
- Accurately render objects in one-, two-, and three-point perspective
- Apply advanced repetition and mirroring methods to maintain symmetry and consistency
- Train freehand line control for confident, precise strokes
Program Overview
Module 1: Foundations of Design Sketching
⏳ 30 minutes
Topics: Course pipeline, basic tools (pen, paper), line quality essentials
Hands-on: Warm-up exercises: straight lines, curves, and circles freehand
Module 2: Sketching Objects from Imagination
⏳ 45 minutes
Topics: Breaking complex forms into simple primitives, construct-draw method
Hands-on: Sketch everyday objects by combining cubes, cylinders, and spheres
Module 3: Perspective Drawing Techniques
⏳ 45 minutes
Topics: One-, two-, and three-point perspective grids and vanishing points
Hands-on: Draw a series of boxes and product shapes in each perspective
Module 4: Advanced Mirroring & Repetition
⏳ 30 minutes
Topics: Symmetry lines, mirror-draw workflow, repeating patterns accurately
Hands-on: Create symmetric components (e.g., spokes, fins) with freehand mirroring
Module 5: Muscle-Memory Building Exercises
⏳ 1 hour
Topics: Rapid-sketch drills, timed drawing sessions, error-correction loops
Hands-on: Timed 30-second sketches of product silhouettes, followed by refinement
