Week 7.1 - Building sketch exercise

In the last session with the tutor, he set a little sketching assignment, which involved studying buildings and making a quick sketch to capture their design and structure.

Below are my sketches:

Unfortunately after I scanned my images in and tried to upload them to this blog page the quality was very poor and all the black lines were extremely faded; to fix this problem I loaded the files into Photoshop, applied an adjustment to darken the lines and then I saved them as a JPEG file.

When sketching these buildings I decided to do a bit of research into the building's origins. I did this because I really enjoyed analysing the buildings and looks at their curves and shapes.

For the future, if I see an interesting building I will defiantly consider making a quick street sketch and the research more into it.

This exercise defiantly has sparked my interest in buildings and their designs.
