So you're having problems sketching products. They don't look right. Proportions are off. Everything seems to go wrong.
Well in this video I'm going to simplify things for you. You see most times we tend to overcomplicate things. But if we brake stuff down into the basics and get a good overview of our sketch BEFORE going into details, we're already 80% done with the sketch.
Might sound weird but trust me, if you try this and really practice this way of sketching, you'll see a drastic improvement in your work.
I have a couple of videos on sketching wheels which you can check out here:

Shorter version: Build it by seeing the simple shapes. Then add more detail as you go.

[@centenarium]

Yep. Likeness is much easily achieved by starting with the largest, most general proportions going down to the most specific ones.

Doesn't matter if it's drawing, digital drawing, 3d, painting etc. Breaking things down makes everything simpler and less daunting.

Haven't tried this yet but thank you sir! You might have just saved my life.

[@97AshleyRose]

Thanks this was so helpful trying to improve my art even more I do a lot of canvas art like expressive or colorful art and magazine collages and sketch cartoon characters. But have never been good with drawing realistic I’m going to practice every day training my brain to see the shapes and get better at drawing this way

[@toonybrain]

...and he uses a pen - a stick pen ... THAT's impressive (and confident)!

[@mubafaw]

Methodical, yet intuitive. great!

[@arkano01]

I'm extremely glad to see a professional using a BIC pen for sketching and drawing, it's my favorite tool too for drawing and definitely there's nothing better than that.

[@Thesketchmonkey]

The BiC has a special place in my hand

[@arkano01]

Good choice!!

[@4753don]

alexander rahirant Same here. I like using a ballpoint pen for sketching and drawing, because of the way it guides on any kind of paper, and the addition of colored ink pens makes it well worth the time.

The only "trick" is PRACTICE

[@Thesketchmonkey]

You're right. I do however believe there are ways to accelerate your learning.

[@SlenderMaam]

Marouane Bembli those ways are: 1. Practice 2. Practice more

[@johnwhite5159]

JFC you're dumb .

[@ronibancroft6897]

As long as you are not practising the wrong way to do things. So if it still isn't working after reasonable practise, maybe go back and make sure you are employing the correct steps, to achieve what you are trying to get.

[@valveman12]

Practice is not a trick.

[@sandersvs3282]

Nice sketch man tanhk you for help everbody to improve this.

[@andriarileyanderson9017]

Sander Svs for the "thank" part, did you scramble the words in the middle on purpose (since it is a legitimate, rather fun mind trick)? Totally irrelevant to this video, but the temptation to ask was overwhelming.

I want to do product designing and I'm studying mechanical engineering 1st right now, thank you so much for this! I want to begin doing it right now and not wait when I get my degree

[@claraghattas6984]

I study product design engineering, best of both worlds!

[@centenarium]

You don't need one to thrive. Do it in your own way. It seems like everybody thinks that having a degree will bring them success. You can be the most successful product designer even without a degree. Moreover, going after a degree will only waste your time.

[@scroopynoopers2892]

Nice hat bro, lets get the cup

[@cyberspider78910]

The only trick is practice.....excellent comment by Holly wollygog...cent percent agreee.

[@pesto12601]

yeah.. but do you see how you can make all those proportional and symmetrical shapes? THAT takes skill and talent...

[@romikotchan]

do you have your own web page?

[@4753don]

My drawings/ sketches used to be one dimensional and not much movement. That's where the ballpoint pen became the focal part of my fun time drawing.

[@masymasdanceschool]

I have seen TOUCHNEW and TOUCHFIVE. Do you know what is the difference. Thankss :)

[@pabloarroyo1023]

They are the same things; however, from personal experience I would say that 10-25 winsor and newton markers can be as effective in creating an image as having more touchnew markers because they blend better.

[@shardoolparashar8323]

Gave the first like😎😎

[@futurestar_in]

Please help...I wanted to know if the product's every outlines need to be fully dark lines or not.

[@kajalwaghresha3786]

If u saw the video completely then u'll know that it shouldnt be completely dark from all sides ,the strokes depends on light and shadow , light : lighter lines. Shadow: darker lines.

[@joshhibbs_nola]

This is AWSOME! Do you watch Sangwon Seok? I know his videos are sped up for watching, but you can see him quickly lay out his basic shapes when he does cars. My friend told me to watch him because usually with cars you may start with the wheels and then make a box and then measure your wheel lengths in between. He just makes a basic shape of the car perspective and then lays out some more defining lines. It is crazy what he can do when sketching cars and how he builds up just like you are doing. He must have been doing it for many, many, years though because he does not even have to think how to lay anything out. It like freely just comes out of his hand onto the paper as if his hand is thinking about what to do for him. 👍🏼

[@Thesketchmonkey]

I've seen his videos, amazing talent!

[@josephbarrett6528]

I know right? I have to concentrate hard to start with a basic shape in the right proportions when sketching cars.

[@vasilis9739]

backround music ???

[@ParadiseofDarkness]

Do you have a cat tree for your cat? Also suggest getting an amazon box and make her a chew box too. Get a cardboard box that 5 inches high by 2 feet long. So she can tackle and scratch on. Getting some chew toys to for cats can work.

[@TzofeOJ]

0:12 bady tached my spaget!!!

[@choochoochooseyou]

Had to laugh. The cat is learning, he says, leaning on a stack of chewed paper.

SOME TIPS ON LINE WEIGHTS AS WELLL PLZZ

[@umbrella638]

you just make a line darker than the rest....

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

You probably won't read this, but just wanted to ask; often times you say "go with the flow" and "keep it messy" (I.E, just lay down marker and see what happens), and you're often doing things in pen. My question is this, as a student who's transferring and needs to build a portfolio, would you say that style of work for a portfolio would be good? Or should I keep things nice, tight and organized (i.e no "seeing what happens", but instead, follow an idea). Would be cool if you did a video on how to help transferring students build the right portfolio so they have a better shot of getting in. I'm sure a college doesn't want to see 15 drawings of "winging it"..Perhaps they do? I'm just confused and there is no resources to help build a solid portfolio for school admission, I don't know if I should keep things loose, or keep everything controlled. Yes, I'm also nervous as all hell that the only 2 schools near me won't accept me, I'm just trying to get an edge. Also, would you be opposed to critiquing work and maybe giving off a few quick pointers? I know you're probably super busy, but worth a ask! TL;dr Should a portfolio for school be super neat and polished(AKA professional level work, or close to it?). Will you do a video showing prospective design students the best way to build a solid portfolio. Will you tear my work to hell and back, and tell me what to change or do better/practice. Thanks :D

[@Thesketchmonkey]

Hey Adrian, When it comes to your portfolio, think about what skill sets you want to highlight and what type of companies you want to work with. Tailor the portfolio to show those skills solving different design problems in creative ways. What companies want to see is problem solving. I give personal feedback to students that are in TheSketchMonkey Academy. There's just not enough time to critique everyone's work. All the best!

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

It was for school, not a company :/, I tried calling schools and they said "anything you want to put in"...Like, That could be a damn stick figure for all I know.

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

P.S...I mock your voice when I'm stuck on a drawing, LMAO. "What would marouane do?"...5 seconds later " It's okay, we will just try to fix it as we go"*in my best Marouane voice*....

[@Thesketchmonkey]

TRU

[@pat4005]

TheSketchMonkey Wonderful video, but please don’t spray the kitty, distract your pet with a toy (like a laser pointer or fish pole toy for cats, catnip or scratcher, etc.). Cats are smart and it probably just wants to play with you. :)

[@GroupeQuebec_R_BusGroupeQuebec]

Yeah it's just I was expecting something else, it's OK.

[@staubach1979rt]

Still waiting for that "one trick."

[@cb-yr7sf]

Don't spray your cat, my dude. Find something that scares the cat away or something the cat doesn't like and make them get away from the sketches. Spraying just makes your cat dislike you, but it still slightly helps with the problem. Try snapping or clapping to scare them off and if that doesn't work when they tear up the paper, take them out of the room, and somewhat ignore them. It might be difficult because cats like to see how far you can go and if you feel like yelling just leave the room. You don't want to instill fear or hate on your cat, and when they stop tearing up the paper give them treats and love.

[@Thesketchmonkey]

She loves anything that has to do with water so the squirts from the bottle didn't really do the trick, still tearing up papers and playing for a few hours, then comes and lays down on my neck. She doesn't fear anything. All good, more fun than my other cat who just sleeps all day.

[@remylebeau2357]

TheSketchMonkey thats quite odd lol 99.9% of cats hate getting wet, so water spray bottles are usually 100% effective lol if not I'd try everytime the cat does it, get a really cold bath, with maybe ice water, and immediately throw the cat in everytime it does it so it learns to equate tearing up drawings with the cats idea of hell lol

[@cb-yr7sf]

Remy LeBeau That's just really cruel and time consuming

[@seahorse5689]

Your cat wants you to play with her. Stop and play for a few minutes and she'll leave your drawings alone.

[@Thesketchmonkey]

I sketch and play with cats, that's what I do. She still eats my sketches and that's ok

[@timbosam]

Get a dog

[@AllThatInterestingStuff]

Judy, cats are trolls didn't you know that? Jokes apart, I had several cats and dogs, the most efficient way to stop a cat from unwanted behaviour is still spraying them with water imo.

[@MrRichulan]
