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 drawing looks at the Brooks Center from the open field located behind the Strom Thurmond Institute. It is interesting in the way that this field relates to Bowman field with other landscapes lined up in between, but yet this space is rarely, if ever, used. While working on this drawing, I learned a new way to capture the essence of the sky and the sun that I'm going to continue using in future drawings. It gives the idea of sky and clouds without completing the entire thing. The way that the landscape comes to the front and the building fades to the back gives a very interesting feeling to the drawing.
