Sketching with Fear




When I am not confident of a perspective or know it is going to be a difficult view, I will at times use a pencil to sketch with.  That way if I have mistakes I can correct.  This particular view of Suzzallo Library, I knew would be a challenge so I didn't do it in ink.  But as I recall we use to have our Architecture 210 students do a series of perspective sketches going through Suzzallo and many of them chose this view.  They did it in ink and were timed as well!

  1. This is amazing! I was too timid to tackle drawing stairs, but yours look fabulous.
    And I love the addition of the person with the camera - enough of them sure walked by taking pics, didn't they? Very cool.

  2. Art and Fear. Two constant companions. I'm glad the former won out.

    1. Thanks Jane,
      Yes two constant companions. I think if we let go of fear it becomes a more enjoyable experience.
