Sketching issues

Photobucket
Kate for David Yurman Jewellery, this is by me, here are other two drawings of mine
(check!)

Sketching is hard. I mean skecthing WELL is hard. And sketching is more important than you may aspect. At least when it comes to designing. You have to make it quick, easy and understandable, without detailing it, details are not welcomed. At least not always. It has to present a clear idea in it. Idea that speaks for itself. And before sketching, you already need an idea. For getting one of those? Well it's not like you're in a grossery shop and ask: " One for me, please." It's the hardest part- the part of being inspired. (But about being inspiered I'll write in another post).
I'm not bad at drawing, it quite never has been a problem for me, but sketching is a thing I don't know how to do, I mess up with too many lines. And less lines you have the greater sketcher you are.
I have to sketch every day in architecture lesson (and you must be really precise, millimeter by millimeter, but my hands tremble a little) and now I should do another work: a bracelet or a watch. The last one is way too complicated...
I'm willing to share with you guys my horrible sketches of the lake house I had to project for school, I tried to sketch without any stress, just with a free hand (AND YOU CAN SEE IT):

Thank you for this round up of diverse sketches. I love the premise behind sketching, that they are the result of spontaneous passion and free from judgment. The actual thought of the artist is capture on paper as it appeared in his/her head.

Why do you like sketching? or trying to get better at it?

Barbora said...

I love fashion illustration. It's like a fairy tale: "Once upon a time..." Just in this one The Sleeping Beauty wears Valentino or Prada:))

I have to admit.. I actually don't like sketching. I like the idea, it seems great:
"the result of spontaneous passion and free from judgment".. as you beautifully wrote.. but I don't know how:D that's why I need to study it, it's essential for working in design and architecture I guess.. :)

.. and instead of Prince Charming's kiss it was Nick Knight's flashing lights to waken her up!;D
