My conversation with Shawn Sheehy continues…
ArtPlantae:
When planning the field guide, did you take a storyboard approach and draw your ideas out on flat sheets of paper, or did you do pop-up sketching? (Readers, pop-up sketching is creating paper models freehand without measuring.)
Shawn:
I typically think through everything in my sketchbook, though much of this is in text and not drawings. I do a number of very rough drawings for each structure to explore possible avenues of engineering, but when I get down to it I’m sketching in 3 dimensions with card and glue.
