Leaning tower of Pisa – Drawn by Gome @reposedthought

Here’s the 3rd sketch in a series of architectural landmarks from around the world that I am attempting to illustrate. Much like the first sketch of the Colosseum, I seem to have developed an affection and appreciation of ancient Italian architecture by drawing it. By developing the practice (and somewhat discipline) of drawing, it helps you pick up on things that could so easily bypass the naked eye. These hidden ‘truths‘ if you like, can trace the layers of a buildings history.

All through architecture school, sketching has been a fundamental tool for communicating ideas. I hope that this series will be enjoyable for you as it is useful for my practise.

I intend to add colour highlights at a later stage with my trustee white Posca pens.

So I accidentally stumbled upon my new favourite spot in Bath – this gem of a view at Alexandra Park. There I was casually strolling past when I saw a sign to “Alexandra Park Viewpoint.” So I followed the steep, steep footpath through the woods to go and check it out.

Not gonna lie, my legs were kinda hanging from all the climbing. But it started to look promising at the top as I could see the start of an amazing view over the city through the thick blanket of trees.

Another long and steady incline to the very top and BAM! There it was! The unexpected opening I so hoped would appear.

Down below, you could see all the famous sites like Bath Abbey, The Royal Crescent, The Circus, Bath Cricket & Rugby grounds to name just a few.

I’m falling more and more in love with this stunning city. If you ever get the chance, I would highly (yes, I said highly!) recommend a trek to the top. It’s kinda peak!
