Hello Sketcher!

Today I am in London visiting my friends and student: Vietdong,
He is one of my new beginner student of Sketch Like The Pros.

We are going to do a quick demo giving you
9 sketching tips for beginners, drawing a Power bank. 🙂

Transcript

Okay. So I’m with VietDong in London, we are going to try, so we start with the main shape.
Yeah. So I turn the paper when I draw.
This is an axis, top of a doodle.
Start with the ellipses.
The second ellipses got done.
And on the paper, I got the natural movement here, so I can just connect. That’s it.

And so we got the main shape here, and I just need to trim it here.
Let’s say I want it like this.
This, then I connect it, and I connect it there.
And I can draw this thing, which is right here, which is exactly parallel.
So I will follow this line, which goes there.
So I will draw something that goes in the same direction, and then I can join.

There’s a small detail here.
So, like, for a small detail, then I can count.
There is like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 6 is there. I can divide here by 2.
So basically, I do a diagonal here. I go low. So here’s a middle.
I follow this direction, and I know there are 3 here, 3 here, 3 here, and 3 here.
So basically, the middle is up low.

And then if you want to add this extension that you can plug inside, this is going out from this object, so you may follow these lines. This line here projected to this one. So I’ll take like the reference of this one, and I can just use this detail and project there going in the same direction.

Alright. And then the wire. Let’s see.
That’s just a very quick doodle.
This doesn’t look anything, but the strategy is good. Sketching session with the atom.

Yeah. Alright.
So you turn the paper; go the axis.
So the minor axis is a symmetry axis.
Right? So you connect the two ellipses.

That’s cool. I’m just describing; you know?

Whatever you have to do. I’m just illustrating your action.

So you thank you, Azumi, for sharing.
So yeah, trim the volumes.
Perspective.

Alright. Oh, go ahead.
So make sure that your dots are in perspective as well because of a line.

Take off the… Oh yeah! This line!
Yeah! Correct! That’s it! Yeah! That’s it!

Follow them as a guide! Yeah! Much better.

Okay. Okay. Very good.

Cheers,
