About the video: First Sketches and Exploration 1
Overview
“In this lesson, you will delve into the realm of explorative sketching. You will learn how to think and study your idea by quick doodling with simplicity and agility. You will learn how to be fearless in your drawing, keeping the sole focus on seeing your design. First sketches are the ultimate expressions of yourself. They are dirty, messy, raw, and imperfect but yet personal, engaging, and descriptive. It is that first sketch that tells the ultimate story about you and your design vision. You will learn how to liberate your visual thinking and unravel it through spontaneity and improvisation. You will be sketching your design by separating, twisting, turning, and cutting through its geometry, seeing its volume from different angles, envisioning 2D plans and elevations, and visualizing its basic functionality.”
In this video lesson Pavel Fomenko addresses the topic: First Sketches and Exploration 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization. Learn to amplify your ideas with architectural geometry, three-dimensional thinking, and drawing techniques.

Remember this is the part where you explore your design thinking and you wanna do it in the most unraveling ways, spontaneous, and raw. It's really about the raw process here. This is perhaps the most exciting and important part because you study your design. In this sketch work, you'll be twisting, turning, separating the geometry of your design, looking at different angles, perspectives, 2D plans, flat section...”
