Industrial (product and transportation) Design: Books on Basics of Sketching
Hi fellow CEans,
I recently completed my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. I wish to pursue my Masters in Industrial Design, product and transportation design to be specific. However, because of my non-design background I have little knowledge about sketching. The sketches I draw when I want to make a visual of my ideas can be understood by a very few people. Realizing that sketching will form the base of my Industrial Design program, I wish to learn sketching in detail from the basics. I am sure that learning sketching will help me sketch more profound and informative designs with greater details. So can you people help out with a good book which takes you through the basics and intricacies of designing and sketching for Industrial Design?
Thanks
Regards

Kaustubh KatdareI think mechanical engineering folks would be better suited to answer your question.

Shashank MogheI have absolutely no idea for any of the books you are looking for, but since you plan to pursue your Masters in Industrial Design, I would suggest you take a look at the N number of MOOCs from the top universities in that field, look at their syllabus where normally the instructor would suggest prerequisites and text/reference books useful for the course.

Mohit Kamat#-Link-Snipped-# Yeah I am already taking 2 MOOCs from Delft University but they are more on the designing phase of the product. Sketching was covered in a small video, also there were no prerequisites mentioned at the start of the course.

Shashank MogheDid you look at any MIT courses? Or try Yale / Stanford open courses. Their website has documents uploaded on the course page.
Alternatively, post your question on edulix. I am a big beneficiary of the support of other forum members, when I was preparing to apply for my Masters. -
Abhijeet Khandagale#-Link-Snipped-# Hey! Are you keen on studying the product design part ? Sketching is an art, and you can definitely learn it through regular practice. If you wish to apply for a program, you can go for it; and by the time you join the course (mid 2016) you can dedicate time to learning design. I'm not sure about the books for design; maybe you can check up with someone from NID or ISDI.
