As an architecture major, sketching is an essential part of the way that I experience life. This may mean sketching something literal that I see or being more creative in sketching the way that a space feels or something that reflects my mood at the moment.
Ever since I was a child, I've always loved to draw. Through my years, I've developed, gaining a different sort of eye for the the way that I see things and learning to convey them by putting them on paper, but until this semester, I've never really had any formal sort of instruction in terms of drawing. I am now taking a drawing class, honing my techniques to become better at conveying my thoughts and visions through drawing.
Through this blog, you are going to see a collection of sketches and drawings from all aspects of my life. Some will be from the class that I am taking. Others will be simply from my daily life or even from past sketches that have a significant meaning to me.
Hope you enjoy learning about the way that I view life through a series of sketches.

This is a series of sketches based on the pathway between Riggs Hall and Tillman Hall on Clemson's campus. They were all very quick sketches done in around 5 minutes each. The diagram on the right shows where each view is found in the span between Riggs and Tillman, within the canopy of trees. The purpose of this sketching excercise was to capture the feel of entire space. The atmostphere changes as you continue down the path with different feelings of shelter by the trees and then more open space when you approach the space in front of the student union. Being able to quickly capture the feel of a space through sketches such as these is an important skill to have as a visual thinker and designer.
