I began my first sketch with outlining as well as detailing the buildings on the side of the river with the Athletic Facilities. After finishing the Athletic buildings I realized I had taken up over half of the page and still needed to include all of Harvard Square area and the Yard so I threw that sketch out and decided to start a new one. With the new sketch the first thing I did was map out the major buildings/parks on both the top and bottom sections of my paper to provide a basic outline and boundaries that I then filled in while completing the sketch. The basic grid outline of Harvard Square area was pretty simple to remember and sketch, however I ran into some difficulty trying to draw the tiny roads interviewing the river houses as well as which buildings were supposed to go on which plot of land. I also found it difficult to scale the roads and the buildings after creating the initial scale of the buildings on the athletic side of the river. Many of the buildings on the Academic side of the river turned out to be scaled differently because I was running out of room.
