Project 6 - Structures - 1

This is the second day back in the studio but so far for this project we have done location drawings as research, and we are just getting into development. I did location drawings at the SECC, the Scottish Transport Museum and Kelvingrove Gallery. The modern structures worked better for me drawing than the kelvingrove as the lines in their shapes seemed to much more defined, much less decorative and about the structure. It was easier to find lines I want to draw on the modern buildings, and it seems like it is those drawings I want to be using, but I'm hoping that doesn't take me in a direction of lots of developments looking the same, that could end with a final piece being boring. I'll go back and check on myself further on in the development.

I've been finding it difficult to develop these drawings in a structural way, so I am using parts of the photographs I like, changing them in different ways and hoping this will bring me to something I will want to pursue for the final piece.
