Sketching

In this computer era, some may wonder if designers still make drawings by hand. However, if you enter a design studio, you will find out that sketching is still an essential skill. Many studios make numerous hand-drawn sketches and drawings, which are integral to the decision-making process. These drawings are used in the initial stages of design, brainstorming sessions, research and concept exploration, and presentation. Drawing is considered to be a powerful tool for communicating with fellow designers, engineers, model makers, clients, contractors, and public offices. This book is a standard guide on design sketching, suitable for students in product design.
