Observation and Recording
In order to correctly interpret the image that we are attempting to sketch,
we must spend time observing it carefully. Careful observation is a very
important first step in the making of a good sketch. Observation must be
keen and sharp. Repeated observation and recording are required to truly
understand the subject. Sometimes measurements are taken just to make sure
that the proper relationship is correctly portrayed. Landscape sketching (and
particularly the sketching of trees) provides one of the best vehicles to
demonstrate the importance of observation and recording. Measurements and
recordings have an amazing benefit for designers because these correct and
properly proportioned images can become the visual data bank from which
they can later derive inspiration and ideas for future work.LIFE SKETCHING
