You need to draw through. That means drawing every side of the cube, even if you don't see that corner.

None of your lines are straight. Practice one movement of your arm that results in a perfectly straight line. it's hard to make yourself learn this but practice is important. once you have that one perfectly straight stroke just rotate your paper around and do the same motion every time.

You also need to work on your perspective.

these are some great books to start with: 1-2-3.

No worries! ID doesn't just belong to the art worlds a lot of technical schools teach it to. Being artistically talented is one thing but it's not everything.

Besides! Everything that I know about drawing like an industrial designer was pretty much introduced and taught to me with this book.

That said it does help to have a degree to do product design, but with any skills related to drawing or making things by hand and you could easily find yourself at a general firm! Nothing corporate but screw corporate.

Rapid Viz is an extremely basic ID visualization book. Lots of great exercises for beginning drawers who want to express ideas. Once you get through that try PFD link here.

Once you get through that you could try something like this (https://www.amazon.ca/Drawing-Product-Designers-Portfolio-Skills/dp/1856697436) or some of Spencer Nugents ID sketching tutorials (https://vimeo.com/idsketching).
