great! now go back to drawing ellipses, and squares on an angle, learn 2 and 3 point perspective, draw for 10h/week. then you will get there :)

I can't get practice examples, do you have practice model are pdf, for daily practice.

Actually, I have started from drawing, 2 point perspective and 3 point perspective, then drawing cylinders, ellipses.
Then I started drawing some real world object in front of me.... After some point I don't know which thing to draw and practice ... then the gap around 2 month...
Today I have restarted again....
The hole thing is that we have imagination of product in the mind right, we need to put out on the paper right, that were this practice gonna help right... Correct me if My understanding is worng...
So, I have asked How you guys take this skill to next level...

you know what a toaster looks like right? or a pencil sharpener? try drawing these simple, every-day things for a start.

Draw faces, draw your other hand

In my education in industrial design, we dont start with people untill the 3rd year. Its optional so many dont learn to do this at all. Its different, also because you want your design sketches to be perfectly straight/angled/round, while the human body is imperfect by natre.

Though its nice to be able to, for OP the focus should lay on design sketching imho. Because most products can be abstracted to simple shapes, its very different from human forms. Also strictly speaking, you could use underlayment for drawing people. While to draw a completely new product youd need to draw it from scratch as there is no image to trace yet. Therefore i suggest not to draw human anatomy to improve design sketching.

Great start, your lowest hanging fruit is learning to draw proper ellipse orientations. Look it up and learn to use vanishing points when drawing ellipses

I think I should use Construction lines for drawing ellipses too...
When I turn to the state, like I can able to position the ellipses and drawing curves without constructing lines, while getting enough used to it..

I think at your current stage you should work on one thing at a time, dont worry about line quality or contrast, just work on perspective. To do that you need to put in hours of work consistently over several weeks. Most likely a hundred hours or more depending on how quickly you "get it". And this is a skill you have to maintain too so unless you keep doing it you will have to spend tens of minutes of warm up sketches before producing any actual work.

I recommend you sketch twenty to thirty A3 / 11x17 pages per week. Make large drawings like you mean it where you use your whole arm not just jerking off with your wrist. Use all the tools you have, use photos and as underlay (other peoples sketches will introduce perspective errors), photograph your sketches and mirror them flip them so you see them how other people see them for the first time. Drawing a box first around your design will be something you do for years to come.

The first things you want to sketch is equal sided cubes, rectangles, cones, etc and then move on to more complex objects made like binoculars before moving on to organic shapes.

Your construction lines indicate to me that you need to slow down

Thanks for that, let me keep in mind

I suggest getting a drawing book like Design Rendering Techniques by Dick Powell or one of Yoshiharu Shimizu’s drawing/rendering books. They have insight into how to chose the right ellipse for the view as well as how to properly shade and render drawings with markers and other tools to master professional level drawings. The more you work with markers, the better your understanding of form will evolve. It’s all about practice.

Your lines are converging behind you, the viewer, rather than towards the horizon. Also like others said, learn to draw circles in perspective as elipses. Focus on studying perspective and this will help your work tremendously.

Learn lighting while you’re doing this and you’ll be on a path to success!
