Description
How do you start to design a product? Can drawing techniques be learned? And why is modelling such a useful technique? This album introduces the basic skills necessary to communicate ideas on paper, as well as revealing the step-by-step processes for making three-dimensional models of objects, showing perspective in drawings and sketching complex objects. It also features a case study of the Strida folding bicycle, an idea taken from initial drawings to marketed product. This material forms part of the Open University course T211 Design and designing.

Good for the starters
I think this is way 2 easy 4 me... But for people who don't kno jack about drawing, I think it's a good way 2 start out :)
I Like it, I mean it's ok.
If you know that some drawing courses are inappropriate b/c they show you drawings of naked people, you might not download it. But If you preview the introduction first, you might think that it will be ok. I haven't watched all of them, but by reading the titles, I think it's ok.
