To start the drawing project we have been given 3 sited in Huddersfield: the Train Station, The Library and Queensgate Market. I'm not very keen on this starting point as I find buildings very boring and tedious to draw as they are usually (and the ones given) very repetitive and symmetrical so your first few seconds of drawing are a lot like the rest of them. The project briefing puts a strong emphasis on the building itself so there isn't really a way to get away with not drawing them. This offers me an interesting challenge of how to get around the repetitiveness in drawing a building.
The one thing I do like about drawing buildings however is the interesting yet obvious perspectives you can get from certain angles, I think this might be what I start focusing on after I finish initial surveying and observation stages of the sites.
I will also try and incorporate figurative drawings into my work as well as that is at the core of my practice as an illustrator and all places are made for people and nothing without them.
