The Fundamentals Mechanics of Design Sketching

We look at how our biomechanics have an impact upon why it can be difficult to control our pen/pencil - and how we can use our understanding to overcome the difficulties.

We look at how the workspace affects what we can achieve - and how to ensure we have the best space to work in.

We learn some basic rules that will make our sketching more controlled.

We work through exercises that will build muscle and visual memory.

Use this trick to ensure accuracy in your sketching, when you want it.

Here are some fun exercises that will build important fundamental skills.

Here are more exercises to work through.

Sketching circles is a valuable fundamental skill. These exercises will commit this skill to muscle and visual memory.

These exercises will help with the confidence to sketch ellipses.

We look back at what we’ve learned, and how to we can use these fundamental skills in our work.

Here’s how to build upon what we’ve learned, and how to apply the skills we’ve been developing.
