Past couple of days of sketching

As promised, here are some of the stuff I've been sketching. It's all architecture. I only used an ink pen with some pencil under sketches. The description of each sketch comes after it.




The original picture was from my architecture book. This place is called Il Redentore made in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Pardon that it doesn't look as good of a sketch because I always have a rough start after a period of time of not sketching.




This is just some random architecture in Antwerp. I don't like this sketch because I didn't do an under sketch and it came out sorta unorganized version of the leaning tower of Piza.




More random architecture found on Flickr. I like this one a bit more then the previous one.




This is a sort of cottage by the name of Thornton Hall in High Caniscliffe, England. This actually came out nice in comparison to how it looked throughout the process. :)




This is the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, Russia. I attempted to out some shadows on it to make it look more real. In some places they look on, but in some they don't look right. :(

Summer = Time to Sketch

During the school year I didnt really get to post at all because I have so much homework usually, but I have sketched a bit this summer. Soon I will update this blog with the sketches I did the past few days. Its mostly architecture because I just LOVE sketching architecture. Its easier for me because of most of the clean, straight lines (by comparison to the non geometric lines used in human figures).

Note, yes most of these sketches are from other peoples photos but I do it so I can practice drawing architecture. I wouldnt be able to see so much different architecture from just my living room, so I practice using flickr. :D Such a great resource!
