Description

Architecture is a profession that combines art and humanity. Before drawing and creating buildings, I wanted to understand human nature, so I started by studying different parts of the human body and portrait details.

These studies of eyes, lips, noses, ears, and hair were a way of training the hand and eye on intricate surfaces before moving on to the larger architectures of the face, the body, and finally the built world.
