Geometry is the cornerstone of technical drawing, and mastering its principles is the key to accurately representing the world that surrounds you. Join industrial designer Rodrigo Chávez and learn basic drawing techniques to create a 3D representation of a lamp.

By the end of the course, you'll know how to easily make precise 3D designs of any object using volumetric drawing and applying key concepts you've learned including perspective, lines, depth, and hierarchy.

Description

Develop three-dimensional ideas applying principles of geometry and volumetric drawing

Begin the course by getting to know Rodrigo Chávez, who tells you about his professional background and work as a strategic and industrial designer. He also shares the influences and inspirations that have motivated him throughout his career.

Start with the basic concepts of 3D drawing that enable you to understand and depict objects in three dimensions. Learn how to sketch a cube and use it as the foundation for representing more complex objects. Discover the importance of line quality in your work and why you shouldn't erase during the drawing process: if you can see your mistakes, you can learn from them.

Next, draw a series of lamps with simple volume and adjust their proportions and defining characteristics based on whether it's a floor, ceiling, or table lamp.

Finally, take your drawings to new heights by adding intent and hierarchy, creating depth, and playing with line width.
