Many people know the importance of hand-drawing in product design, but they don't know where to start when they pick up a pen to draw, and the overwhelming online tutorials can't tell which is good or not. Which direction should we start from?

So write down this basic product design hand-drawing strategy, hoping to give you some help if you want to learn hand-drawing or are learning hand-drawing

Paper: You can prepare an A3 copy paper for practice. A slightly larger paper will help improve the modeling ability, about 80g is enough, but you can buy better paper if you want to color it.

Pen: pencil, used for drafting when molding. I usually use snow to ink, and you can also choose a gel pen or a ballpoint pen. Colored lead is generally oily, which is more affordable and easy to use. High-gloss pens are generally made by Mitsubishi, and I personally feel better than those made by KINOMOTO SAKURA. For markers, you can consider Fakale or TOUCH, which are relatively basic and easy to use brands.

Hand-painting can't be practiced overnight. Practice makes perfect. It's suitable for use here, but practice is not enough. There must be good learning methods, and learning with goals and directions will make rapid progress.

Hand-drawing of product design is also a process from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, so don't want to eat a fat man, just start drawing complex models. You can start with simple exercises, start with structural line drawing, and then deepen gradually.

In the process of practice, we must think about what we have not painted satisfactorily, so that when choosing a tutorial or a book, we will have a clear aim and it will be easier to choose the one that suits us.

First of all, we all know that it is a way to start a manuscript with a pencil and then ink it. It is also possible to start the manuscript directly with colored lead, but don't choose too jumping colors when choosing colors.

After drawing the line draft, you can leave the bottom, and you can practice coloring with the copied draft, so as to avoid wasting the line draft and repeating the practice.

At the beginning of the coloring stage, first of all, remember that the marker is a tool for quick expression. Never ink, and the colors should be displayed one by one from shallow to deep, but don't draw too many layers, which will easily stain the picture.

When dealing with details, you can draw shapes with colored pencils, which can make the whole picture more exquisite.

First, learn to appreciate good paintings. Seeing more will naturally improve your horizons. Even if you don't draw in place when you draw, you know where you don't draw in place, and you will make faster progress when you draw in the future.

For people who draw from scratch, start with the most basic lines, circles, ellipses and cubes, and practice each one, so that they will not be restricted in expressing complex objects in the future.

After you finish the basic exercises, you can begin to learn perspective. You can find some books or tutorials to learn. It is a good way to draw a square box. You just need to draw it right at first, and then slowly increase the speed.

Then I began to practice structure sketch, which is one of the core parts. You can refer to some online tutorial exercises, or you can find some materials to copy first. The materials I shared with you can also be copied.

Then there is the practice of light and shadow, object material and projection, and the performance of techniques needs a lot of time to practice.

These are basic exercises. After practice, you can copy some simple hand-painted products and gradually deepen them.

Cars are difficult and complicated, so don't draw them at the beginning. Before our ability is reached, we should play it to the end like a game. When we master the basic knowledge, we can draw more complicated models.

Better websites in China

The information is abundant and comprehensive, and there are some good pictures.

As for hand-painted books, you can look at the electronic version on the Internet first, and then choose what you like to buy.

Personally, I think Liu Chuankai's two products are hand-painted, so you can buy them for reference.

The strategy of how to practice hand-drawing in product design has been shared with everyone. Are you satisfied?

I accidentally started school again. How many hand-painted pictures did you draw during a holiday?

Life is not how many days you can live.

But how many days do you remember?

Make every day memorable.
