sketchy


while sketching the alhambra, i couldn't help but try to analyze the complex geometric forms of the patterns found in virtually every room of the complex. when i set out to do that, i found it extremely difficult. i tried to analyze the shapes and patterns (both 2D and 3D) found on the walls and ceilings. many were based off of lines that coincide to produce an array of different shapes. i found these most interesting, something so complex coming from a simple line.
