Most designers get stuck in endless idea generation without direction. This course teaches you how to create moodboards and idea sketches directly in Photoshop to give structure and clarity to your design process.
A moodboard is a collage of images, colors, and styles that sets the tone and direction for your project. It helps you make faster design decisions and gives you a clear vision before you even start modeling.
You’ll then learn how to sketch multiple ideas efficiently in Photoshop, select the best one, and refine it into a professional presentation sketch. From there, you’ll add color, light, and detail — creating sketches ready to impress clients or serve as the foundation for your 3D model in SOLIDWORKS.
“These courses are life-changing — in just months, I landed 3 lucrative freelance projects thanks to Jan’s amazing courses!”
— Maxim Papushin | Freelance Designer, United States
Most design processes start with scattered inspiration, but without focus, it’s easy to lose direction. A moodboard solves this. By collecting images, colors, textures, and styles into a single visual overview, you set the tone for your entire project.
With a clear moodboard in place, every design decision becomes easier — you’ll know instantly whether an idea fits your vision or not. This not only saves time but also ensures your project maintains a consistent, professional identity from the very beginning.
👉 You’ll learn step by step how to create professional moodboards in the Adobe Photoshop Handsketching Course.
“I went from zero experience to confidently designing anything — now I work as a freelance designer. A dream come true.”
— Hans van Vlijmen | Freelance Designer, Netherlands
Once your moodboard defines the direction, it’s time to generate ideas. In this course, you’ll learn how to create multiple ideation sketches fast, using smart workflows that maximize creativity without wasting time.
The goal is not to make perfect drawings, but to explore as many directions as possible and then filter them down. You’ll practice selecting the most promising ideas and discarding the rest — a skill that separates professional designers from amateurs who stay stuck in endless sketching.
👉 Exactly this process of sketching and filtering is what you’ll practice inside the Adobe Photoshop Handsketching Course.
Great design ideas only have impact if they are communicated clearly. That’s why the course guides you to refine your chosen sketch into a professional presentation sketch.
Using Photoshop, you’ll add color, lighting, and detail — turning your raw sketch into a polished concept that impresses clients and communicates your design vision with confidence.
These presentation sketches also serve as blueprints for 3D modeling in SOLIDWORKS, meaning your ideas don’t stop on paper but flow seamlessly into the next stage of the design process.
👉 You’ll master this workflow in the Adobe Photoshop Handsketching Course, where your sketches evolve into professional, client-ready presentations.

Q: Do I need any prior Photoshop experience?
Not at all! This course is beginner-friendly. I’ll guide you step by step through the tools you need, so you’ll be sketching and coloring confidently in no time.
Q: Do I need to buy Photoshop to join?
No. Adobe offers a free trial of Photoshop, so you can start without any upfront costs. Alternatively, you can also use Photopea, a completely free browser-based Photoshop alternative.
Q: Do I need a drawing tablet?
A tablet (like a Wacom) can make sketching smoother, but it’s absolutely not required. You can follow the course with just your mouse or trackpad. Many students start this way and upgrade later if they want extra comfort.
Q: What if I’ve never sketched before?
No problem. You don’t need to be a natural artist to follow this course. The techniques are designed to help you generate ideas quickly, refine them, and present them professionally — regardless of your drawing skills today.
Q: How much time do I need each week?
Plan on 2–4 hours per week to make steady progress. But there’s no rush — you get lifetime access, so you can learn entirely at your own pace.
Q: How does this help with SOLIDWORKS?
By having clear, professional sketches before modeling, you’ll save massive amounts of time in SOLIDWORKS. Instead of trial-and-error in 3D, you’ll enter the modeling phase with a crystal-clear vision of what you’re creating.
Q: Will this course help me get a job or freelance projects?
Yes! You’ll create professional, portfolio-ready sketches that many students have used to land jobs or freelance projects — your creative skills will speak louder than words.
Q: What if I’m not satisfied?
