So recently, I decided to do some quick video posts on sketch-a-day.com with a very handy camera rig that allows me to set up and record with my iPhone as the camera. Makes me wish I didn’t spend all that money on camera equipment in the past. I don’t have as much time as I [...]

It might be a bit loud…just warning you. Enjoy! Spaceship Sketching Exercise from Industrial Design Sketching.

These videos are a bit idealistic…and sales driven. But there are some great points and reminders on how to design products with sustainability in mind.( It’s nice exciting to see more companies focus on this.) However, im ultimately posting them for the sketches. “Mr. Imagination” does a pretty good job about communicating complex ideas with simple visual elements.

IDSKETCHING.COM: Camera Sketch Part 2 from Industrial Design Sketching on Vimeo.

This took a while to get up here, but I finally got around to getting the audio all done. For [...]

I’ll warn you though, It’s a little quick – okay it’s alot quick – and [...]

This video follows the quick sketch/ideation of a cell phone concept as it goes from a quick sketch to concept composition page in the matter of minutes! Check it out and see about taking some easy shortcuts to get to a final sketch presentation page.

After a few requests, I put together this video on how I do I transparency with markers. See the finished result after the break.

After a few requests from several of you, I’ve put together a small video covering some surface finish simple techniques with prismacolor markers. It’s another cube (yay!), but the principles carry over to product sketching. I may do another video on curvilinear reflections in the near future. Just keep bugging me. Here’s the final image [...]

Part two of the videos showing primitive combination. In this video, I go over a marker rendering of a gas tank made up of primitives. (pardon the lighting)
