mapcrunch adventures
hiiiii
have you heard of mapcrunch ??? it's a website that plops you somewhere random in the world via google streetview.
like this:
this is today's default location. I THINK everyday they pick one pretty/interesting location for the default one, but you can look at as many as you want .
something I used to do a lot was draw those locations! I used to treat it kind of like plein air painting, where i'd try to capture The Vibes and draw/paint accuratelyish.
today I planned on doing that. but then I realized I was Not in the mood to draw directly from a reference.
so I tried something different ! I spent a small amount of time on each drawing, and just simplified each image like A Ton
here's the first page I did:
I used markers ! I kinda wish I saved the reference photos from these
this page isn't as cute. but I liked picking out my favorite parts of each image and drawing it in a way that made sense/was fun
anotha one.
short post but I highly encourage you to use mapcrunch to draw. however way u want. but I had a lot of fun doing it this way, where I just did quick simplified sketches! if you do this, please send me your drawings!
here's da link to that website again:
have a great day ☀️
