It goes without saying that the book is suited for the classroom, but every design studio will also find this manual an asset, because in spite of the ascendancy of the computer, hand-drawn sketches are still a very much used. Review: I would marry this book ! - As a graphic artist and budding Industrial designer this book has been a joy to have and learn from; for the last couple of months I've started my day sketching with this book and a cup of coffee,this has been marital bliss.My sketching skills have improved considerably and I've found myself repeatedly telling myself, oh so that's how this and that is done, followed by I can do it !, followed by It only took me 5 minutes ! The book itself has 2 distinct sections intertwined;a very loose lesson on the various aspects of sketching for product design, and case studies of actual product designers that incorporate some aspects of the lesson at hand. There is ample room for improvement though, while it is chock full of great graphics, photos and sketches,I would rather have had more reference sketches maybe even a compendium of shading,shapes and lightning ,and less case studies,it also lacks on the step by step department, and yes it follows no clear path and just trows itself recklessly into the subject;this is a book best read in small doses with some markers and paper at hand. In any case these flaws are easily overlooked by how useful and effective it is as a learning and reference tool. Review: Great for I.D. Students - I first heard of this book from an Industrial design forum I often frequent. People seemed to praise it for the great content so I knew I had to check it out for myself. When I finally received the book I saw that not only were the comment I had read true but that the book went above and beyond my expectations. This book is perfect for I.D. students, professionals and even someone who is learning how to sketch. It show cases a wide range of media and styles which allowing the viewer to see how to execute different techniques in a variety of ways. I think my favorite aspect of this book is the fact that the pages are very visual rather then text heavy. The notes that are there are great because they allow you to go a little bit more in-depth on the designers process and thoughts. I keep this book right by my drafting table within arms reach because it's great for those moments when you're not quite sure how to communicate an idea properly. Since I've bought this book, it's encouraged me to draw almost everyday and I can safely say that I have certainly seen improvement. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #747,694 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Industrial Product Design #831 in Pen & Ink Drawing #4,316 in Graphic Design (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 408 Reviews | ## Images ![Sketching: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Zr9aV6g6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would marry this book ! *by K***O on September 2, 2009* As a graphic artist and budding Industrial designer this book has been a joy to have and learn from; for the last couple of months I've started my day sketching with this book and a cup of coffee,this has been marital bliss.My sketching skills have improved considerably and I've found myself repeatedly telling myself, oh so that's how this and that is done, followed by I can do it !, followed by It only took me 5 minutes !

So, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy my collection of design books myself. This book is good for sketching references. The book has great instruction on the techniques and rules on perspective, rounding, and such. However, I wish the book had media instruction such as marker renderings or color pencil techniques. The grammatical errors that people have pointed out don't really bother me because I'm more of visual person. I process information well when I see how it's done, and this book does a great job showing different aspects of sketching in different industries. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sketching (12th printing): Drawing Techniques for Product Designers - Sketching: The Basics - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/4591234-sketching-drawing-techniques-for-product-designers](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/4591234-sketching-drawing-techniques-for-product-designers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
