I challenged myself to do observational drawings of my surroundings when the sketchbook brief was given because I want to improve on my environmental drawing. It has really benefited me as it has changed how I look at things. For instance, I started to pay attention to the change of perspectives when I walk pass through it, and I've understood perspective better. I found that I learn faster when I observe my surroundings instead of just learning things from reading books, although I still refer to books to clarify my doubts or for further research on some interesting findings.
These are the landscape drawings that I made arranged sequentially from the oldest to the newest. Most of them were initially quick sketches that I've done in less than 5 minutes developed into a more detailed drawings afterwards by adding some cross-hatchings and or colours.
