He combines explanation, illustration, animation, and hands-on demonstrations of concepts such as sketching basic shapes as well as more complex forms, creating planes, the mechanics and methods of two-point perspective, projection principles, and creating the illusion of shade and casting shadows. Kevin Henry, a product designer and educator responsible for the influential book Drawing for Product Designers, teaches beginning and intermediate students how to visualize ideas for small-scale and mass production with just a pen and paper.

That's why this course teaches sketching rather than drawing-focusing on speed, creativity, and iteration rather than on one precise depiction of a single concept. Sketching allows product designers to generate ideas quickly, without committing resources to any single idea. Product designs usually end up as complex CAD drawings before going into production.
