I am a big believer in sketch sheets for internal use. Studying "The Way We Build" across time and space is an obsession of mine. Ultimately what matters are my own inner thought structures and how they emerge and crystalise into commentary as I visit, sketch, model, photograph in this never ending quest. It's the journey.

This should be enough for me to get the proportions of my outline sketch roughly right. So I did the same on the canvas and sketched out the picture in pencil.
