Are designers still making drawings by hand? Isn’t it more advanced to use a computer in this computer era? Some may think sketching is a disappearing skill, but if you ever enter a design studio, you will find out differently. Studios still make sketches and drawings by hand • and in most cases, quite a lot of them. They are an integral part of the decision-making process, used in the early stages of design, in brainstorming sessions, in the phase of research and concept exploration, and in presentation. Drawing has proved to be, next to verbal explanation, a powerful tool for communicating not only with fellow designers, engineers or model makers but also with clients, contractors and public offices. This book can be regarded as a standard book on design sketching, useful for students in product design.

本书是作者在美国、瑞士的ArtCebter研读设计，以及长期在美国和中国大陆从事产品设计工作的经验总结。书籍内容丰富，图文并茂，信息量大，具有很高的学术价值，对产品设计的从业者和相关专业的学生有很强的参考价值。本书内容主要由两部分组成：第一部分是作者多年学习心得和工作经验的分享，系统详细地介绍了产品设计流程以及概念构思的方法，并采用图表、图文对照的形式使读者更加容易理解掌握。第二部分精选了作者实际项目的原始手稿，内容包含前期的初始草图、构想图、爆炸图和使用情境图。鉴于大部分的设计师和学生对于学习概念构思以及设计手绘有迫切的需求，通过分享作者的经验和技巧，希望能帮助喜爱产品前期开发和重视手绘表现的广大设计人员提升设计能力，进而达到有效沟通设计想法的目的。

手绘设计与电脑设计的目的是相同的，同为进行某种视觉方式的表达，只是两者所采用的手段不同；从思维的角度来看，两者同为设计师展示的创造性思维，没有高低优劣之分。电脑的特点是设计精确、效率高、便于更改，还可以大量复制，操作非常使捷。但随之而来的缺憾是进行某些方面的设计时，难免比较呆板、冰冷，缺少生气，不利于进行更好的交流。而手绘设计，通常是作者设计思想初衷的体现，能及时捕捉作者内心瞬间的思想火花，并且能和作者的他意同步。在设计师创作的探索和实践过程中，手绘可以生动、形象地记录下作者的创作激情，并把激情注入作品之中。因此，手绘的特点是能比较直接地传达作者的设计理念，作品生动、亲切，有一种回归自然的情感因素。手绘设计的作品有很多偶然性，这也正是手绘的魅力所在。
本书重点介绍表现性速写、概念性表现图及图解思考，力求将创造性设计思维与表现性技巧合而为一。以循序渐进的训练方法为原则，突出应用性操作技能，简洁实用。本书适用于大专院校的工业设计专业课堂教学，也可供从事产品设计的设计师们借鉴参考。
