A,B, Sketches
-
Let's continue with the letter I:
As usual, I start from 2D sketches:

This post is deleted! -
Just imagine they could be plans/sections/facades of buildings such as houses, complexes, hospitals, hotels, etc...
-
Now let's imagine some of them as 3D objects/buildings.

Have always been a big fan of your sketches mate not to mention your conceptual synthesis 10/10

@L-i-am I got a diploma in mathematics and was into algorithmic thinking. Then tried to learn architecture during university with my analytic mindset. So I see it like a procedure, not like those who do magic out of a black box. For some years, I had this chance to teach architecture, and after years, sometimes students call me to thank my way of teaching. I hope I have the chance again; this is the most satisfying job for me.

Let's proceed with the letter "J".
I wish I could share more of each letter.
-
Maybe sharing the progress process could be more interesting so here are samples:
-
I polished some of old sketches. These ones are the letter "C":

somehow similar to this:

and this other C :

Using my cellphone, I filmed and described my sketching process and asked a friend to turn them into neat videos ... Here is a glimpse into the letter "M": I hope many find it useful, especially when AI is erasing our creativity!

@majid Can you share the video?
-
@ntxdave For sure. Plz DM your email, and I will share this video.
I will also publish the entire series from A to Z soon (hopefully) -
I was able to download and watch your video. I thought it was very interesting, but I am not sure I fully understood the building you drew in the video.
I enjoyed watching the video and your drawing talent. I am not sure I fully understood the building you drew but the process you used was very interesting. I enjoyed watching the different tools you used to create the drawing. I am not an artist, so I thought I might have learned some things from you. Maybe my age is holding me back a little
SketchUp has kind of priced me out of the market so I have been trying to learn how to use Blender, but it is a hard tool to learn (maybe it is another age issue :-)).
For several years now though, I have enjoyed seeing your contributions to the forum and hope you continue to post things here for the whole world to enjoy and learn from. Keep it up!

@ntxdave Dear Dave, due to your suggestion I am sharing this video for free as a gift to our lovely society:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15J6I6plQTkiBSfHnIzeV5pQghn8e73tY/view?usp=sharing
This is based on the book A, B, Sketches, which is dedicated to creative thinking on forms and here the forms are inspired by the alphabet. I filmed 7 , short (6-11 min each) videos for each letter and here is the last video of the letter "M".
I hope it helps you think creatively about any other "object," not only the alphabet solely...
Also, I have tried to keep the tools very limited and simple: A pencil, a felt-tip pen, a black whiteboard marker are used for A-E, and gradually I have added a blue, a green, a brown, and a gray sketching marker. The core question is creative thinking and enjoying your time. I will share some more free samples here. -
I would love to have your feedback, mates... It really helps me.
So please feel free to give me your ideas/pieces of advice... -
Finally, I shared the first series on Gumroad. It is on the letter "A", called THE ALPHABET OF FORM β βAβ:
One may be inspired to make a 3D model of those sketches

Any feedback would be constructive, so if anyone has taken the course, it would be much appreciated if they could please give me their feedback.
