Sketching a Castle

 This sketch contains two drawings...above is an attempt to sketch an origami paper form from perspective techniques. Below is a 5 minute sketch of a Scotland castle printed in newspaper. I first sketched basic fame and then added details subsequently. The sketch is not perfect but it imparts character of this castle along with correct proportions. This is what is required of architects to impart words to his/her imagination. 

Chinese Ground

         Hi Guys this sketch was made by me when I first visited to schenzen china. The place is a modern urban sprawl with tall high rise buildings. The above sketch was made after vising a local market complex which was housed in a high rise building. I improvised those fins at the bottom  myself to give building a distinct character. Also it will be interesting to note that I have sketched it on a hotel room diary page....it somehow give more excitement to sketch on such things rather than on a plain simple drawing sheet....try a napkin sometime....and I will post my napkin sketches too..!

sketching random masses

  This sketch was made by me when I learned perspective techniques. Though the perspective was very technical but I did it roughly in sketch and tried to colour it to visualize front space of the masses. Likewise students and professionals make sketches roughly following simple rules of perspective !

Hello Friends....

     Hello Friends after a long time after graduating from architecture college I finally decided to write this blog. Well lets first introduce myself, I am Ar.Gaurav Goel and I have graduated from Amity School of Architecture and Planning.

     From childhood I was sketching a lot and got into portraits and other human figures, but after 5 years in architecture college I was also trained in expressing spaces into form of sketches.Though I am not very good in sketching artistically, but as an architect can express spaces with basic perspective and proportioning systems.

     Daily architects and students make numerous sketches, which afterwards are either lying in drawers or sometimes throne away. But in reality these are those important piece of works which give direction to reach actual design. Thats why I decided to put all my rough and conceptual sketches on this blog.

    Hope that this blog will inspire or help students and other professionals in design field. And I would also like your comments and suggestions to inspire myself and post more on this blog !
