IDSKETCHING.COM

August 9th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I would like to announce a new industrial design site dedicated to sketching, created by two of our ProductDesignForums members: IDSKETCHING.COM
IDSKETCHING.COM

IDSKETCHING.COM

The site contains a bunch of video tutorials that show you how to sketch in industrial design.
Here is a word from the creators:
So here’s the deal – John (jm745) and I (snugja) go way back. We went to the same college took the same classes, and have some of the same passions. We both love sketching, creating and teaching. That’s what IDSKETCHING.COM is all about.


John and I decided that it was about time we share our work and methodology with the general design/art community. We’re no masters by any means, but no such undertaking has been attempted by anyone in any way such as this. We came up with the idea to share and share alike. To have this site as a resource for all to use to better their skillset.

We believe in helping others and providing a resource for all to use absolutely free of charge. We believe that by helping others, you ultimately help yourself in the process.

Alot of time and energy has been put into the site and we hope that you’ll come back weekly for updates and monthly for our longer featured demos. Like I said, this is a massive undertaking. We have a small library to start with, but join us as we make this dream a reality.

Thanks for waiting and being patient! The site will be heavily updated in the next 2 weeks so keep visiting and telling your friends about it! ”

Just go and check it out! It is incredibly sweet and awesome! Something you might have been waiting for a long time.

    Hi,

    Nice blog.
    I’m from Ireland and am finding it very hard to find a job over here.
    i am now considering on moving to China to find an Industrial design Job.

    Could you give me any advice?

    Cheers, nick.

    Hello Waikit!
    I see that you are doing a great work in china…it’s neat to hear about your experiences there! I have always wanted to go to china and many other parts of the world, but I have not gotten the chance yet!

    I did have a quick question: Why are there so many people moving to china? Is there a lot of job opportunities there? It came clear to my mind why you are there…but I was just wondering about the general over-all well fare of the country. It doesn’t seem like a place where a lot of people would want to move to. I can understand going there to visit…but moving there is a different story.

    I am really interested in hearing about this! Thanks a lot!

    Hi Jerry,

    China is indeed a place with many opportunities for designers, because it is a large and growing market with a huge variety of consumer groups.
    For many western people it might be difficult to get used to the Chinese culture, so you definitely need to be tolerant and adaptable if you want to live here in the long term.
    I believe that Shanghai attracts the most foreigners, because of its international charm comparing to many other large Chines cities, including Beijing.

    Cheers,

    Waikit
