About
I'm extremely passionate about urban cities and their architecture. Within my sketches, I try to understand the context by placing myself right in the space. I love analyzing complexities and what comes out in my illustrations is a representation of my take on how the space functions. I’m always transforming my artwork. As I learn from experiences, it reflects upon my art style, and It is subject to constant innovation.
Starting with simple line sketches, I learnt how rendering adds depth. As I grew more confident with this, I started experimenting with new styles- taking away strokes from one, throwing excess lines in another, cleaning out sketches with straight organized rendering techniques, trying different varieties of strokes, inducing my knowledge of architecture by giving life to materials, producing high quality Black and white architecture sketches.
