Partial transcription of the video

“ Inspiration and References In this lesson, we will look for references and inspiration for our sketching project. Walking around the city or walking around cities visiting places has been one of my starting points for my sketching adventures. I love to look at architecture and how light plays on the buildings. Since I always carry my phone with me, I always have a camera and I'm ready to shoot something that catches my eye and that is inspirational to work out later in the studio.

Digital Visualization Artist

Digital visualization artist Albert Kiefer enjoyed drawing from a young age, taking inspiration from what he saw on TV to create fantastical alien spacecraft and superhero suits. He studied drawing and art history at the Maastricht Institute of Arts and, after graduating, began working at a computer graphics firm, where he learned techniques like 3D modeling and rendering. With over 35 years of experience, he now works as a freelancer in the field of visualization, taking ideas and concepts and transforming them into pictures or animations.

Albert later began to miss more traditional art forms and returned to his love for sketching. As the years passed, his style evolved into the expressive and colorful one that we see today. He has published Au Japon!, a collection of sketches of Japanese buildings, and created a series of workshop videos for Gerstaecker. He also showcases his work on his website and social media under the name Housesketcher.
