It was fun showing my brother and the unofficial in-laws around town, including a little kid who kept stealing my hat. 🤠 He loved the @texastoymuseum so much he’s dying to go back. #family #austin #texas #uno

Austin skyline sketch ⾢
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! 🙌
Austin river sketch ✍️
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 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.
The Whitewater 🌊
I took my daughter and her friend to Schlitterbahn, and we had a great time. So naturally, here’s a picture of a random guy on the The Whitewater. 😆 #schlitterbahn #schlitterbahnnewbraunfels #waterslide #crowd #summer #newbraunfels via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CuW5hOyuZrg/
Ghibli Park 🤯
If I ever make it to Japan, Ghibli Park is now on the list to visit.
Apparently this theme park is confusing and unconventional, just like the movies made by its legendary namesake animation studio.
Obviously, a weird theme park that isn’t really a theme park is on my must-see list. 🙃
One more reason to visit Japan. ✅
