ArtistAlbert Kiefer(aka Housesketcher) documents these places.
Kiefer started drawing architectural structures in 2016.
At first that was not a planned subject matter, the artist tells My Modern Met.
I wanted to catch up with traditional sketching again.
As a computer artist, I had not sketched on paper for over 30 years.
At first, I sketched many different subjects.
But it eventually became architecture.
And I loved it!
While he has formal training in art, architectural drawing was something he ventured into on his own.
Many of Kiefer’s illuastrations feature Japanese buildings, which he started drawing during the COVID pandemic.
There are so many interesting aspects to sketch.
To create these vibrant pieces, Kiefer uses simple sketchbooks and commercially available color markers.
These markers are alcohol based, and allow me to work quite fast, he explains.
This keeps them fresh and expressive.
To stay up to date with his architectural illustrations, you’re free to follow the artist onInstagram.
His use of expressive marker lines captures the lived-in quality of each illustrated building.
