Looking at concept drawings

The drawings from Aldo Rossi's Sketchbooks show a variety of drawings, of various style and using different materials. Rossi uses mainly an ink pen to draw his concept sketches and then uses a water colour or ink wash, crayons or color pencils to add colour to the drawings. His lines are spontaneous and he uses several lines to empasize the significant aspects and a single line to depict the unimportant masses. He uses several perspectives within the same darwing, making it appear surreal.

Carlo Sacrpa uses pencil drawings to represent his ideas. He incorporates different details, calculations and   plans in the same drawing, occasionally using colour pencil to add colour.
