I Miss Alcohol... Markers, That Is!

(I do not own the video)

I miss this. Old school but still cool.

(This guy isn’t really a famous expert – he just happens to have the skill and the social media channels).

I was never able to master the use of alcohol-based markers in college; they’re very expensive! I nevertheless loved utilizing the few that I had for shades & shadows, to give depth to rather 2-dimensional elevations and plans. Zig Kurecolor was the best brand then. Or is it still? Some of my classmates doodled with so much ease. Graphics proficiency truly is a talent! I enjoy just watching the transition progress. So mesmerizing. From a blank piece of paper to a “playful” representation of something built / to-be-built. This kind of illustrating works especially for initial talks with a client. Some designers sketch ideas instantaneously right in front of the client.

I gave up trying to be a full-fledged architect more than a decade ago, after I failed the licensure examinations for the third time in a span of four years. It finally sunk in… it wasn’t meant to be. *sigh* L


“If you give up on it, maybe you don’t really want it enough!”OR Maybe the effects of some of the things we want in life aren’t really good for us. NEED is different from WANT, after all…
