Welcome

- Hi, my name's Kevin Henry. I'm a product designer, educator, and author of the book Drawing for Product Designers. In this course, we're going to explore design sketching, or what's often called rapid ideation sketching. I'll combine technical explanations with illustrations, animations, and hands-on demonstrations of the processes and techniques we're going to be exploring. The goal is to have you sketching your own concepts, and sketching them with speed and confidence. I'll do this by providing you with a set of strategies that can be easily learned through practice, along with a smattering of history and theory. In design studios, sketching remains important precisely because of the speed and directness it allows. Even with the digital tools we now have, sketching remains essential to all design workflows because computer models not only start with a sketch, but the designer builds form with sketches throughout the process. So, ultimately, my goal with this course is to get you sketching with a new and deeper understanding of not only how designers sketch, but also why they sketch. I can't wait to show you all about it. So let's get started.
