Progress to date. This one is taking me too long but I’m finally excepting how it’s turning out. What do you think, does it need a dark sky?!

How we going to put this thing together? A little privacy fence sketch for a plaza deck with pedestal pavers. I had fun drawing this up with @morpholio to visually describe how this privacy screen might go together. Drawing over the architects rendering offers a sense of familiarity without notes…just kidding, I’m just lazy!

Conrado Home Builders invited us to an open house at one of our projects just before the owners move in. It’s a rare opportunity for us to see the end result of years of work and collaboration. We’d like to thank both Conrado and Beausoleil Architects for the invite and opportunity to work on such a great project and congratulate the team on completing another wonderful home!

After a little drawing hiatus I tried jumping back in. Why is it we avoid the things we want to do most? Today I put on some records on and just put pencil to paper. I’m still having a hard time with this idea of blending graphite but I committed to this process for this drawing so I’m just going with it. Looking forward to putting in some detail though…

Blind wall construction along property lines with existing neighboring buildings is tricky. Working through these conditions with some @morpholio details. I think all drawing details, no matter what they’re for, should read well and look good!

A slow start to the new year for personal drawing ✍️
This one’s really been eating at me. I’m trying some new techniques and up until today, I wasn’t sure if I could make it work. I’m finally at a point where I’m ok moving forward with it.
The cold rainy days here in the Bay Area have really helped motivate me. I love this weather, it makes staying inside easier and more cozy.

More detailing with @morpholio
Trying to get some work done before the end of the year! Limestone water table at a brick facade on one of our San Francisco restoration projects.

“…but we can’t move the existing drain OR the new stairs”
Ok, just do this. More @morpholio fun, make it work!

Every session there’s doubt and fear, I have to fight myself and push through. It’s that last hour, where you reach the top and just enjoy the view. All the doubt and fear fades away as you polish and refine the details. Calling this one done!
