Not to beat a dead horse or play my violin…
I started Industrial Design with little to no concept of sketching. My first sketch (which I still have) was trash…I should upload it sometime just for the laughs. My first Design Visualization class in college I got a C. That was a wake-up call for me, as it was the lowest grade I received in all of my years in schooling. Countless times I doubted, but “by looking at those super amazing digital renderings” I was inspired. I wouldn’t give up.
None of those guys had instagrams when they were born, and none of them could sketch like that either. It takes work.
I’m now sketching for a living and I rely heavily on this skill that I acquired through thousands of hours of learning/copying/practicing.
