Summary

This is a professional tutorial on hand-drawn UI icon design. Its aim is to help readers understand the principles of icon design and express icons through hand drawing. In UI design work, icons can be produced by various methods. Hand drawing is one of the fastest ways to achieve good results, and designers can use it for independent creation, group discussion, meeting presentations, and work reports. The book is divided into 3 parts and 14 chapters. The basics and intermediate parts explain how to create various App-related icons; while gaining initial hand-drawing skills, readers understand the principles and standards of UI icon design, laying a solid foundation for hand-drawn icon practice. The advanced part integrates everyday objects into icon design, refining, simplifying, and effectively combining source material and presenting it as icons, thereby improving readers' ability to extract, process, and reorganize material as well as their hand-drawn icon skills—further enhancing those skills. The book not only comprehensively introduces the basic methods and techniques of hand-drawn icon design but also offers practical knowledge from real work. In addition, each case comes with a supporting video that readers can watch by scanning a QR code. The book is suitable for UI design beginners and designers with some UI design experience for study or reference.

Editor's review

UI Icon Hand-Drawing in 88 Cases is a hands-on UI design tutorial by Lu Ming, published by Posts & Telecom Press with a Douban rating of 8.1. Focused on hand-drawn icon design, it uses 88 cases to walk through the complete process from concept to digital implementation, covering style exploration, sketching, digital coloring, and practical application, and emphasizing the unique value of hand-drawn thinking in digital interface design. The author, Lu Ming, has extensive practical design experience, and the cases combine creativity with practicality, teaching techniques while guiding readers to build a personalized visual language. For UI designers seeking to break away from template-driven design and pursue emotional expression in interfaces, the book offers a valuable source of inspiration and methodological support. In today's climate of prevalent flat design and severe homogenization, hand-drawn icons can effectively enhance a product's recognizability and approachability, and this book is a timely guide to that trend.

Not a good fit for

Reading tips

  1. Practice in chapter order, focusing on understanding the conceptual logic of the sketching stage
  2. Try adapting the case methods to real designs based on your own project needs
  3. Practice with drawing tools while reading to deepen your grasp of the key techniques

About the author

路铭 Author

Lu Ming: currently, publicly available information is limited, and it is not possible to confirm the author's full identity or professional background. According to the library's records, only one work appears under this name: UI Icon Hand-Drawing in 88 Examples, classified under design. The book focuses on the hand-drawn representation of interface icons, presenting methods and processes of icon drawing through case studies. The "88 examples" in the title suggest that the book is structured around a considerable number of specific examples, making it a practical, technique-oriented guide that emphasizes step-by-step demonstration. It is therefore suitable for design learners who need to practice icon shaping and hand-drawing expression. Owing to limited materials, Lu Ming's other experiences, research interests, and creative trajectory cannot be verified, and the writing style can only be inferred from this single volume: teaching through examples, with an emphasis on操作性 that readers can follow and imitate, rather than elaborate theoretical discussion. If more complete author information becomes available, it should be supplemented.
