I intend to blog about both analog and digital sketching. To that end, here's a very quick sketch that was done on a Tablet PC, using Alias Sketchbook Pro software. It's also a quick test-run to see how swiftly I can go from a sketch on the tablet to the blog - after about 2 minutes on the sketch and about a minute in Photoshop, here I am typing. So that's pretty fast. While I don't tend to carry the tablet around for outdoor or travel sketching, it does come in handy when a meeting or presentation is dragging and I need something interesting to focus on.
I teach architecture at the University of Idaho - design studios, architectural graphics courses, and a professional practice course. One of my passions outside of teaching ... and music, and plants, and mycology, and ... is observing and understanding the world through sketching with various media, such as pencil, pen, charcoal and watercolor. Passing along the same skill and interest to students is a goal I've pursued through my teaching here in Moscow, Idaho, and through an 8-week study-abroad program in Rome each summer.
