Multi-tasking
Friday, November 16th, 2007
The other day I took a trip to the National Shrine to see a concert for class. On a whim, I brought my Moleskine,* and so I was able to spend a lovely two hours listening to fantastic music and sketching beautiful architecture.
I love sketching architectural forms–the geometry, clear lines, and strong perspectives appeal to me. But, as these three small, ballpoint sketches show, I’m a little out of practice. Which sounds to me like a good excuse to seek out beautiful buildings to draw. (Click the photo to see it larger.)
*I like my Moleskine, but I don’t understand the almost fanatical devotion they seem to generate. They do come in convenient purse-and-pocket sizes, and I love that they’re hardcover, but they’re awfully expensive. (Mine was a favor at I wedding I once worked at.) I’ll enjoy mine while it lasts, but I doubt I’ll replace it.
