Drawing Amsterdam Dailies, Day 131. When I break out the tracing paper and trace lines from a photo of building, it becomes a different kind of drawing than one that I do entirely freehand. I use the tracing paper to teach and inform me as I try to draw what I “see” in the photo. I put the tracing over what I’ve drawn to see if I’ve seen the angles and perspective. Usually the angles aren’t sharp or steep enough. And then there’s erasing and more redrawing. And then some more. I like where this is at so will start inking it tomorrow. #amsterdam #amsterdamhouses #architecture #usingtracingpaper #perspective #traveljournal #wip #dailysketching #dailyhabit #creativehabit #creativity
