The Dancing House
I'm still trying to let myself go by doing more scribbly, messy drawings. Yesterday I started a sketch of a church in Estonia which I found on Street View (below), but the result was rather unsatisfactory as I think I was trying to draw a decent image but be care free at the same time. It just didn't work. Today I picked The Dancing House in Prague. I tried to just scribble in the lines and details a bit more spontaneously and I've found it to be a more satisfying result. Invariably it has only a passing resemblance to the real thing and I've completely failed to convey 3 dimensions or that this building is on the corner of the street, however I think this approach is the way forward.

Why do you want messy drawings?
ReplyDeleteI like that style. I am particularly keen on impressionism and I love how a recognisable image can be created without conforming to the precise rendering of the subject matter.
