“Design Sketching”

There are very few books on industrial design, and even fewer good textbooks. Design in Sketches is arguably the best illustrated book for industrial designers.

Twenty-four talented students from the Umea Institute of Design, one of the best European design schools, have collected a variety of materials in the book “Design Sketching”. The works were selected from various areas of the Institute’s activities, resulting in a unique collection of sketches representing a large number of different designs.

“Sketching: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers”

Sketching: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers is an invaluable resource for industrial design sketching knowledge and answers many of the questions newcomers to the field may have.

“The Industrial Designer’s Guide to Sketching”

The Industrial Designer’s Guide to Sketching is more likely to be suitable for newcomers to industrial design because contains many simple examples that students of specialized institutions can easily repeat. We will not recommend it to more experienced colleagues, because you are unlikely to find anything new for yourself in this book.
