Building Sketch

Inspired by Mateusz Urbanowicz

Yesterday, I was searching for inspirations for sketching buildings and through many searches on google, it graced me with many repetitive results but...

This caught my eye.

Chinese food restaurant, Takadanobaba district, Miyake bicycle shop based on shops in Kagurazaka and Kichijyouji.

Or so the website says ^

Since I am learning new drawing methods and skills by myself. There is no way on the surface of the Earth I am going to be able to draw something this complex as a lost soul who spent at least 2 months worth of drawing experience.

Like literally I am inexperienced (笑)

I decided that this shall be my reference material, ANDDDDD!

What I learned was intriguing to say the least, I learned to draw a roof... Yes a roof...
But not just that, I learned to draw a complete building!

My slight twist from the original piece.

Conclusion

I found it being a great sketch experience, it's not hard as art takes a lot of time to hone your skills before you really get creative (unless you are a genius). This really brought me back to art class with my teacher because of perspectives and shading.

So what can I take away from this?

I realised that roofs are harder to draw than it seems. I learned how to sketch curtains, some miscellaneous objects and building parts, all the small things (Although I drew them like a kid from primary school).

It was a challenging experience for me but at the end of the day, I felt great being that I achieved something.

Maybe I could try going out more often and taking photos of things I find interesting, bring them home and sketch them...
