Further to an earlier post…

A couple of entries ago I expressed a hope that I'd get permission to post the drawings from a session I did up in Whistler with the Imagine BC Sea-to-Sky group. Well, I got permission, so here are the drawings: (click on a picture to view a larger image)




















Confession: the top drawing is just a detail, not the whole sheet. When I looked at the original with a critical eye I realized it was kind of chaotic — the information from one area spilled over into another area so it was difficult to distinguish between the discrete parts. So I just posted the good bits here! The bottom drawing is better organized, I think — but then, I had the advantage of doing that one a bit after the fact, whereas the one above was done "live" as people were talking. That's the big challenge, trying to organize ideas and information that's flying at you thick and fast.

My mentor Christina Merkley subsequently coached me on how to organize information better on the page, with frames, heads and subheads, bullets, separator lines and so on. I tried to put those ideas into practice in my Sechelt drawings (Charrette Syndrome, below), and think I was fairly successful.

Another day, another lesson learned…
