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 Domestika addresses the topic: First Sketches and Exploration 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing Specialization: From Sketching to Digital Visualization. Learn conceptual architectural sketching, translating abstract ideas into coherent, creative drawings using freehand techniques.
