Sketchercise of the Einstein Tower by Erich Mendelsohn in Potsdam, Germany.

The exercise was: 30 second fat pen expressive sketch (I didn't have a fat pen on me) 30 second sketch using only straight lines. Hard to do with such a curvy building! 45 second blind contour sketch. No looking at the paper, no lifting your pen until the 45 seconds are up!
