Eames Library

As someone who only really illustrates architecture, attempting to draw a detailed and deeply personal space like the Eames House was a challenge for me, especially with the layered perspectives, shelves overflowing with objects, and all the small details that make the house feel so alive. I’m so incredibly happy I gave it another go though, because this piece became one of the most rewarding drawings I’ve worked on. I really wanted to capture the warmth and sense of home that Charles and Ray Eames created. Filling the shelves, bookcases, and floors with little mementos, ornaments, and collected treasures was so fun and I hope that lived-in feeling comes through in the final print.
