A couple weeks ago I posted a sketch rendering of a PC Box on sketch-a-day.com. Luckily, I had recorded video of the sketching and rendering process and finally got around to laying in some audio and talking about the process. 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 scan:

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)

Sometimes you need to sketch something more complicated, but where do you start? I put together this video in response to a question from RIckard who emailed me via the questions email address.

Here’s a quick tip on cleaning up scanned sketches. After posting the most recent video featuring ballpoint pen and light photoshop, I received a few requests for a video or explanation of how to clean up a scanned sketch. I opted for a quick video showing how I do it. So take a look if [...]

So it’s always good to try new things and push your design skills. I thought it might be good for me to try and sketch out a toy of some sort to get myself into a different style/mood and to learn new things. I ended up doing just a basic little toy cell phone for [...]
