  • W"..I originally bought and enjoyed Sketching: Drawing Techniques for Product Designers (DTFPD for short:),and this second book, (a prologue/companion/introduction of sorts) really is equally great; as an aspiring product designer and professional graphic artist I've found these 2 Books to be Incredibly useful. If you can, buy both, If you can only afford one or can't decide, get this one first.."

  • "..I borrowed this book from the library thinking maybe I'd come across a few helpful tips. As I read I marked the pages I found useful with a Post-It, in order to come back to them later. About a quarter of the way in I realized I had marked almost every page.
    There is much good information here. The examples are well-illustrated and clearly explained. It's concise - no fluff, no frills, no waste of my attention span.
    I'm excited to have my own copy to play with.."
    Useful info nearly every page,
