Austin skyline sketch βΎ’
Among other elements, my first sketch of Austin produced a quick and simple downtown view using a ruler tool.
Inspired by that look, I decided to give downtown its own focus along with a more abstract river using Sketches app’s spline, fill, and ruler tools.
Here’s the result. I kind of like it! Yeah, it’s rough, but it’s supposed to be! π
Austin river sketch βοΈ
Playing around with this Sketches app on my iPad, today’s goal was a to learn how to “trace” something by hand. But what? I needed something simple to start.
The Colorado River snaking its way through my city of Austin, Texas came to mind for its irregular curves. Using a Maps screenshot of Austin and layers in the Sketches app with my nifty new ο£ΏΒ Pencil, I got a rough but realistic hand-drawn shape of the river.
Then I used the app’s ruler, fill, and text tools to make a quick, fun sketch of my town by neighborhood.
Here’s the project with the Maps screenshot layer shown.
