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?

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
This is my second landscape painting from Greenland – I didn’t actually go there, but rather I used Google Streetview as per the rules of “The Virtual Paintout” – each month a new location, everybody can participate. 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
This is a landscape from google streetview in Greenland! What do you think? What could make it better? It’s for the monthly “virtual paintout” over at http://virtualpaintout.blogspot.com – go participate! Here is the direct link to the streetview view (although not exactly on a street) – turn just a little to the right, and you … Read more
