Remaining in the same general area as the previous drawing, I am now working on a series of sketches connecting the Brooks Center to Bowman field, as these are two very similar spaces. Before beginning the series of sketches, I first drew a diagram of the spaces between the field next to the Brooks Center all the way to Bowman field. These spaces include the geometric landscape behind Cooper Library, the library itself, the reflection pond, the amphitheater, the Carillon gardens, and then Bowman Field. This series of perspective sketches will capture views along the way in a quick atmospheric sort of way. This is just the first of the sketches in this series. Each of these are done in a matter of about ten minutes of drawing and five to ten minutes of applying color. One interesting thing about this sketch that I enjoyed was playing around with the use of a light yellow color to capture the light on the covering of the walkway.
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.
