Buildups

These are all doodles made while watching TV.
I started to draw the first building and then I suddenly remembered my friends Leticia and Javier, a couple (in all senses) of architects that became illustrators, awesome illustrators, I should say. They have told me more than once that there's a hidden architect in me. I don't know if it's true but I like to hear it. This thoughts made me build and build up more and more buildings.
Days after, the second one was a response to the first. The following ones are alternatives to building and buildup. (To be continued)

  4. Hola Miguel,

    Algo de lo que dibujas sucede a veces en la casa... yo le llamo el "the towering effect of clutter" (¡oops!¡ahora mismo se está formando una de esas torres en mi escritorio!).
    Visité el sitio de Leticia y quedé encantada. Saludos desde Montreal.

  6. Miguel, are these new works? The bottom two are my favourites. I really do think they are the best doodles I've ever seen. I'm so jealous of your skills.

  7. Thankyou all!
    Andrea: yes, all these were made over Christmas so they are less than one month older. I made them slowly, with a theme in mind, but no plan, just improvisation.

  11. Thank you everyone! Michael: I draw almost always while watching TV (it usually doesn't catch all my attention).

  12. Very lovely - I particularly like no. 2. There should be a genre for drawing buildings, as it's always satisfying.

  13. Excellent sketches, Miguel. I can hardly believe you do this while casually watching TV :-)
