Editorial Reviews
Sketching is an incredibly broad and practical survey of sketching techniques for product designers. 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.

by Akshay Sharma (Blacksburg, VA)
Really a well put together book that showcases some pretty good looking projects.
I teach ID at VT and has shown it a lot of my students, they all seem to see the process and reasoning behind most of the projects presented.

I would marry this book !, 2009-09-02
by keno (CA)
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.

Great book for product reference, 2009-07-09
by Laura V. Munoz (San Francisco, CA United States)
The images in the book are excellent to use as a reference for product design and Rapid Viz. The drawings are great for showing where the highlights would be, how to do chrome and plastics. Although, this book is not a how to draw book, but the images in the book are easy enough to understand how to imitate without step-by-step instructions.
I would recommend this to Product Design students.
