Also included are tips on marker application when sketching and tips on how to get expressive lines. Please be sure to leave a comment in the comments section of the post.
Excellent Tutorial, exactly what I needed to see. Some great tips in there….. Thanks!
Super. The pencil sketching followed by marker renderings is great. Please make more of this kind of tutorials

Hello Spencer,
Thank you so much for the tutorials! Design sketching is just as much as challenging for me as getting through math was. Keep up the good work!!

Excellent! And well explained. Please do LOTS more basic drawing techniques! This is a godsend for those like me who are industrial design students who struggle with the basics. Keep going!
This is a great video. I just learned of this website and I am really glad I visited. I agree with Jane please do lots more basic technique videos. I learned more in those 15 minutes than I have in some of my classes!
Buon video!!!Ho imparato più qui che in 10 lezioni all’ università!!!
Spero di vederne altri come questo … bel lavoro .. continua così!!
Translation : Good video! I learned more here than in all 10 classes’ university!
I hope to see others like this … nice work .. continues!

“Sorry The video no longer exists”
Your work is excellent ！ But why I can’t see the video now。
Oh！ Now it is available ,after I refresh the page ，the video dispaly。
Hey Spencer, ive been having a bit of trouble showing the form of an object using shadow cores, i don’t really understand that. Is the shaded line (shadow core) used on the surface next to the one that is being raised outwards? Like the way you have raised the knife handle out just in from the edges. Im also confused about when a shadow core should be used, is it right next to the area where direct light hits the surface? Because if thats the case, in the cylinder i dont get why theres a shadow core 2 sides, and not just the side opposite to the shadow?
Good point. I’ll try and prep something to explain more. As for the second core, that’s usually there to show something reflecting into it in the “environment” look at any cylinder and you’ll see what I mean. When there’s a light area next to the core, it’s suggesting that there is some reflective ambient or back lighting in the environment. I’ll try and get something out soon. I’ll be on a two week hiatus from the site for travel and n site demos but can take a look then.

Spencer i love this site it is a great help to me thanks.
loving the site, keep it up.
Theres lots here for amateurs and the more experienced alike.
very good tutorial, like the others ones… theres no better sites for sketching tutorial!
Correct me if I am wrong but I find it illogical that reflected light appears on the same side as the shadow, 03:54
Bounce light is one thing but the whole side shouldn’t be lit up from my experience.
Sure. To each his own. In my experience as a professional designer, the goal is to communicate the form. The best way for me to do that in this case when doing something orthographic is to really punch the shadow core and emphasize the reflected (ambient) light and how it causes a lightening of the underside. Hold up andy fairly reflective cylindrical object in a somewhat similar fashion and you’ll see what I mean. Knowing the rules doesn’t mean you must be bound to them.
Knowing the rules lets you be creative and use them to communicate in the most effective way possible. In my opinion, a picture perfect representation of reality can sometimes be boring or confusing and it’s our job as designers to represent as clearly as we can what’s going on – in this case with a somewhat 2d ortho view, that meant me pushing reality a bit to get the contrast needed to show depth. Hope this isn’t too confusing. If you need examples, feel free to contact me – info at idsketching.com
Really good demonstration of the use of pencils…
I am a beginner and thaks for the tutorial
