Keep on moving! 🔝➡️⤵️➡️ Great workshop session with a team of designers at Alpla Packaging. The ability to add arrows to your design sketches is a much underrated skill that deserves a lot more attention and practice! Arrows add motion to your static sketches and help your audience understand how things work. ➡️⏩🔝

End of another series of classes with Today we combined the principles of linear perspective with curvilinear principles to create cameras with protruding lenses. This is where most people make the biggest errors! 🫣

Btw, if you want to be able to do this check out my courses. Link in bio.

To quickly setup a perspective product sketch and stay in control of the angles of all converging lines I recommend using a grid underlay. I have created 3 cheat sheets that you can download on my site. Comment GRID below and I will send you a personal download link.

Getting grip on perspective with Note: this is NOT how I recommend to sketch products in perspective! This exercise is purely intended to improve your understanding of the basic principles. In practice the vanishing points are often far off the page and you will need to estimate their locations. See my next post for a useful shortcut to setup more realistic perspectives 🌟

This was fun!!! 🤩 With my students we investigated how tools and techniques can be used to develop a personal style. We did that by analyzing and copying examples. In this case we used the always inspiring work of .kindler 🌟

Sketching in perspective starts with seeing! Observe the world around you and learn from what you see. Converging lines, foreshortening effects, different points of view. Use your camera to document it all and analyze the pictures to figure out how these principles work.
