Sketching

no i havent , actually i havent skectched a particular monument , i have done buildings and all ,

No, i have not sketched any. Actually i'am not interested in these things.

I bumbled across Mike Rohde's website, as you do, googling... somethingorother.... and what a worthwhile bumble it was. Mike Rohde is a designer who writes on various elements of design and technology, among other things. Mike is an afficionado of the Moleskine sketchbook (what is it about these things?.. I think I'll have to get one to find out what all the fuss is about ...) and mac user who often shares his way of working and favorite products in sketches like the one at left. I figure a designer must know something about being creating and productive so I hope I can pick up some tips. He's got some really interesting ideas on organizing, sketching, the creative process... good stuff. Go visit.

I just love all that beautiful white paper, the sleek black binding... sometimes it can be a bit daunting, making the first marks on a sketchbook - maybe it's fear of spoiling it. Messing it up. Or the vision that you have of this gorgeous da Vinci-like creation, setting the bar a little high. Or maybe you just don't know what to use it for. I find it often helps to start off with a browse through your last sketchbook. Make it a kind of continuity rather than seeing it as a separate entity. You can also start off by defacing the book a bit - stain it with coffee, do some collage. Let the kids scribble in the front of it. Relax and enjoy it. If you really do want to create a 'perfect' sketchbook, consider using loose paper or a sketch pad, and leaving a couple of inches clear to allow for binding, and having the book bound after you've done the drawings. That way you can leave anything out or add it in, so you can be creative and not have to worry about getting a whole book perfect.
