Landscape in Bhutan

thomas-dalsgaard-clausen-2015-11-30a landscape in bhutan pen and watercolor

This is all I got around to doing yesterday. A landscape scene in Bhutan, that I found through “random street view” – I’m not that strong in landscapes and it’s something I’d like to improve, so this site might be a way to quickly finding some more or less useful scenes.

I think that this one could have been a little better with more detailing in the foreground. But how do you actually draw trees and shrubs?

Streetview house somewhere in Canada. Sketched in ballpoint pen.

Streetview sketch from Canada in ballpoint pen

I’m sure some of my blogreaders must be tired of all the cats.. So here’s something I never do, although I keep telling myself to try and get better at it: perspective drawing! This is a scene I picked with “RandomStreetView.Com”  – a website that sends you somewhere completely random at the click of a … Read more

Mountain scene in Bhutan. Drawing in ballpoint pen and India ink based on scene from Google Streetview.

Yesterday, one of my followers on the tumblr-version of onedrawingdaily (his username is Emkinkade) suggested that i might try and mix the “line tools” like ballpoint pen with a liquid tool (I’ve got a bottle of india ink). I tried it on this Bhutanese landscape. I think it looks better the farther away you get … Read more

Watercolor painting of a landscape in Bhutan from google streetview

This month in the virtual paintout is in Bhutan. I picked this view from streetview I actually wrote a couple of lines about how dissatisfied I were with this painting, but noone want’s to hear me whine about it, I suppose. While some things frustrate me, other parts is not half bad. I’m going to … Read more

Street perspective in Tokyo in ballpoint pen and watercolor

This one i just did from google streetview – It’s really fun to explore the world with streetview – I were looking for a “historical city center” of Tokyo.. Older houses or older city structures, but couldn’t find it. Does anybody know anything? I did this one in my A4 sketchbook, so it’s bigger than … Read more

Perspective drawing of a street view scene in Rome, ballpoint pen

Here’s a drawing I did from google street view. It’s from the streets of Rome. I’m not overly satisfied with the scan. I’m using the scanner at the architecture school. A hugely expensive big thing for professional i-don’t-know-what’s.. Yet, the quality is bad. It leaves out some of the thinnest lines for some reason. My … Read more

404 Perspective drawing from Mejlgade in Århus, Denmark in ballpoint pen and watercolor

I started this yesterday, but didn’t get to finish it, so here’s the finished version. I just got myself a new A4-size sketchbook to compliment my usual microscopic 4×6″ format. This is the drawing to “break in” the new book. I think the street color steals away a little too much focus, and the perspective … Read more

403 Perspective from the Badstuegade street in Århus, Denmark done with ballpoint pen

I met with a good friend from architecture school yesterday. He’s been following my blog and it seems that he has notived that I do a lot of portraits and not a lot of architecture (or any kind of “spatial” drawing.) He obviously has a point. I just draw whatever I want to draw, and … Read more

378 Landscape in Greenland. Watercolor painting for the Virtual Paintout

Here’s the streetview location link: https://goo.gl/maps/cQPzi This is smaller than my last one from Greenland. It’s especially hard … Read more
