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.
