Remember rendering expert Mark Kokavec releasing his How to Draw Figures book? Now another industrial designer, this one from down under, is spreading the sketching gospel in book form. This one focuses more on hardcore ID sketching:

Projecet founder and Canberra-based industrial designer Tom Skeehan runs Skeehan Studio, which focuses on commercial furniture, lighting and product design. His book, Sketching Process, has already been successfully Kickstarted with $15,858 pledged on a $9,980 goal. But Skeehan is hoping, in the final 17 days of the campaign, to hit $50,000 in pledges; should that happen, he'll use the money to build an online instructional sketching platform.

Speaking of online instructional sketching platforms, don't forget to check out our own sketch-tastic videos by Michael DiTullo and Spencer Nugent.

Fun fact: If you live in the Northern Hemisphere and draw circles by moving your pen clockwise, when you try doing the same in Australia, your hand goes counterclockwise.

Did you know a lot of people who backed this project never received their books? Tom doesn't reply to emails from backers, even the patient ones! What's particularly galling is that we can see he's active on Instagram and gets coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald, yet when it comes to replying to us all I hear is...silence. If you're in touch with Tom, ask him for an update for the rest of us! Cheers!
