Jason Nicholas shows how to pick sketching locations with strong architectural features like staircases that show perspective. He recommends switching between different shapes—from round stacks to square subjects—to keep your work fresh and break complex objects into basic geometric forms.
[Speaker:STAN] So, I've been wandering around here looking for really cool places to sketch and I feel like this would be a really nice location. What I like about this is it has a really cool staircase going up on the right-hand side, really awesome perspective looking up and what's really different about this than some of the other things we were sketching, this is more square, right? We've been sketching the stacks. The stacks are round. So we have a square shape here. So let's kind of change things up. One of the things I do look for when I'm out sketching are shapes of objects, and that's a really great starting place. If you— if you want to break a complicated subject down, start with shapes.
