Control

Since Mom posted her sketch last week, I’ve been thinking about all the sketching I used to do.  Which was a lot!!

Most of it was forced upon me, lol… guess that’s what happens when you major in Architecture in college.

At first I only wanted to do the really precise drawings like above, because they looked… well, precise.  And clean, and controlled!

I was afraid of messy lines!  (I still am, haha).

But after a couple of years, I had to give that up.  The pure volume of sketching I needed to do for classes and for inspiration didn’t allow that controlled movement.

In fact, after a while I found it refreshing… that those messy sketches of existing spaces could later inspire me in different ways because it left an impression… not just a picture.

Might be time to break out the sketch book again soon!

Bonus points if you can name any of the buildings/spaces in the last set of sketches! ;)
