Sketches

Managed to get some computer time to put some sketches up ... almost don't want to as they are taken with my camera so they are a little distorted and contrast/brightness is all wrong (unfortunately easy things to change if I had photoshop).

This one was a quick 5-10 minute sketch of David. It is one of my favorites as it wasn't overworked and has a loosness and energy to it (also only had one attempt at most lines and managed to 'fluke' it). It is about 4 inches tall:



This was a longer sketch where I had about 30-40 on lookers in the end. I'm not crazy about it cause I could never step back and correct problems due to location. I was trying to make it look more like a real person than a sculpture. In total, probably about 2 hours and A4 size (~8x11 inches for the Americans)

Drawing David itself was a bit of a challenge as technically, the sculpture has problems: the head and hands are too big and out of proportion with the rest of the body, the knees are hardly detailled at all and I'd love to know how the slingshot he is holding works cause it makes no sense to me.



This was a quick sketch of the Collosuem - about 10 minutes and about the size of a credit card (suffering badly due to camera distortion). I was thinking of doing a longer sketch from this location but was bad cause if I got hassled by theives/teenagers, the exit strategy was very limited.



Ok, now for something a little different. The following is a conceptual design and I've hardly done any architectural ones. But in doing this one, I felt it was really informed by what I was seeing lately. It took about 1.5 hours and I'm trying to work on speed and quality. Speed I want to get down to about an hour and there are still some problems I need to address in design (doesn't help I don't have a ruler).
