More sketches from the archives - 2000

November 21, 2011 | Leave your thoughts

Following on from my last post….There is a big difference between sketching from the comfort of your desk and sketching out on location. Here are some of my typical ‘desk sketches’ dating from 2000. These are sketches that I did from photos post trip to the UK. I thought naively that I would be able to do this kind of sketch on location as easily as I could from the controlled environment inside my studio.


I did approx 50 sketches like these of elevations, plans, sections, small axonometric studies and detailed sketches from the buildings that I visited during my first trip to the UK in 2000. These two pages were my favourite….but there were a lot of pages with distorted perspectives and over hatched sketches. I might put them together as an issuu edition one day…..
