Today in the afternoon, I went out to chill and relax. Sketching became my choice activity for I've found it therapeutic to observe and to sketch. Well, since I have been feeling rather stressed and being too preoccupied about the upcoming music exams, I decided I could do myself a favour by taking a break to do something different. I suppose it would help me find some new inspirations for my music.
I attempted to do a sketch and study of Ion Orchard. I made three attempts to sketch this building. The first two attempts were done with pencil and weren't satisfactory. After my second attempt, I almost wanted to give up because it was not an easy building to sketch. Anyway, I am glad that I had persevered. At the very least, I have learnt to observe and to sketch something new today.
It's not a good sketch, but at least I have managed to come up with something decent enough. More importantly, I overcame the initial self-doubts about sketching this building.
After the sketch, I met a friend for dinner and to catch up. Many thanks to my friend for her treat to dinner.

is this a difficult sketch of mostly geometrical shapes?
I think you got it pretty much. I wouldn't even know where to start.
JY:: I spent a good 40 minutes observing and doing my first two attempts to figure out how to sketch it with a good sense of proportion. I find the structure a little hard to understand until I realised that it comprises of a core structure and an outer 'skin' layer.
Doreen: It was rather challenging to figure out where to start. I almost wanted to try sketching something else that was easier.
I wouldn't even know where to start... maybe Justin can do the sketch...
