Description A sketch page compilation sourced from a sketch book of mine dating to 2006. These are all original designs for homes, and possibly other village buildings like taverns and shops. I was designing my first real set of home plans that year for a builder. By 2007, the first of several homes were built. I am self-taught, so these types of sketches served as a dictionary of ideas for me for exterior design. Obviously, I haven't strayed much from my roots.

Everybody who designs anything should draw every day with a pencil! Keep an actual sketchbook. It's permanent and always great to pick it up from time to time and see how you have progressed or look for old ideas that are still viable. And don't call your sketch pages a "sketch dump!!!" That sounds negative! It's not a dump. Or a trash can. It's a collection or compilation!! ...Have a beautiful day!!

#2 and #12 are my favourites. They have such a Manor House feel to them.

Start sloppy, erase a lot, re-draw until you get zen nirvana!!

Sorry I did't precise. I wrote a book and I have many medieval town, so I wonder if I can use your drawing to discribe medieval/historical house in the different town.
