We had drawn a short time about 4 mins per picture. It seems like blind drawing, which means to draw without looking paper, is quite popular in UAL. I tried to believe that it really benefits me a lot.
Initially we just drew those buildings surrounding LCC, focusing on the light and dark sides of each building and catching an overall feeling. Next we started to squint our eyes, and ignore those details of building consciously. Furthermore we tried blind drawing with squinting eyes still. To be honest, it was not as easy as I thought before, even I felt a little bit tired in only 1 hour. (Thus I drew something else to relax.)
The intuitive feeling is very complex. All the walls, windows and floors just came in your eyes and made you confused with what they surely are. But if we just recognize them as blocks with different brightness, we can get a 2D perspective to the scene in front of us.
I actually drew the same building many time and in different ways, although it was just for fun. By the way absolutely a good method to have a joyful mood it is that smear with charcoals, it made me recall my child days lol.
