  • Thanks a lot, i discover some really useful thing in this video. I only use photoshop when i need to add something in my render only. I am a product designer student (in france) and i mostly work on Solidworks and Illustrator to make the communication sheet. I think I will try to sketch with Photoshop from now one (I am wasting too much paper >.<) and i got my hand on sketchbook designer too 🙂

    • Hello Nemi, glad to receive a comment from France (I am also french). Which Design school are you from ?
      Sketchbook Designer is also a good alternative to Photoshop for sketching. You will actually start faster if you use it that software for sketching. The parameter are already made to reproduce the real pencils. It’s good to explore both ways.
      Then I still recommend Photoshop for the rendering.
      Have a good day !
