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.

I think that this one is better than the last two perspectives i did, but I need to practice if i … Read more
Here I’m moving a little further down the street of Mejlgade. See the other city-perspectives here

I don’t want to be too detailed – … Read more
