oday I would like to share with you the method that is the most precious to me. Some people may say I should keep it SECRET– and keep it as my own style. But to me, this might change and greatly improve the way you sketch, as how it did for me when I was student.
7 steps to Make dynamic sketches – the Design Sketchbook
This method is NOT only about drawing with a dynamic style. It’s also about being accurate. To succeed you will have to practice it when you learn your fundamentals rules such as perspective, proportion…Earlier you know about these 7 steps, earlier you can implement it as a habit.
This method helped me to improve DRASTICALLY when I was student. I actually learned it from 2 of my talented classmates. They was my friends and we was all sitting together on the same table, from where we learned from each other. I remember how I kept observing them drawing. It was so easy for them ! How come with one single stroke, they got so much precision ! The first secret is that sequence of steps. The second is PRACTICE.
To make it easy to explain, I dissociate every single step and put them in a sequence. Take your time to practice each step. You will slowly be able to combine them.
Note:
You don’t have to follow the sequence with that exact order. But it’s the one I myself feel comfortable with.
Before starting let’s have a look at the advantages to use that method :
Minimalist, clean
Fast and efficient
(Great for drawing multiple ideas in a minimum of time)
Accurate, you don’t have to draw perfect
Intuitive
(Sometime it’s good to do not think too much while you draw and provoke some Happy accident)
Easy to fix
Easy to import into Photoshop
(No need to clean the drawing much)
TIP
“You may use this technique with more or less a loose hand depending if you want to draw a doodle or a final sketch.”
How to make Dynamic sketches
To better draw with this sequence of steps, I recommend you to train your “hand-brain synchronisation” to gain in accuracy. You will find the essential exercises in the Designer Starter Kit. (How to draw straight lines without ruler, perfect circles without compass, how to hold your pen…)
“It’s like martial art. More your practice, more your hand will draw with precision and effortless.
But you have to learn the right movement.“
Below are the 7 Steps:
1- Start with a simple axis
Start drawing an axis(To explain you the technique, I made a demo with a simple cylinder.)
This axis will give the orientation to your cylinder or product. It will help you to better visualise your cylinder/product before drawing it.
