The beauty of the top down one point perspective is that you can very easily create a three dimensional drawing from a 2D plan (city plan, building plan). You just “pull” the objects out the paper, as it were.

Realistic rendering of a kestrel on Paper, “made on an iPad Mini with my stubby working-class fingers.”
by tonycomley
My Kestrel is complete!
He was forged with an iPad app called Paper, which I love because it taunts me with a small but splendidly formed range of brushes. Drawing for me is part puzzle solving, so it’s inspiring to be given a specific set of tools to try and outwit.
I copied from this photo.
For the Paper literate; I made this by layering increasingly light pencil strokes on top of a wash, then improvising haphazardly when that didn’t work.

“This creation took about eight hours over three days. I was inspired by another Paper artist, Sylvia Lynch, to create something using the pen tool. I started by filling the page with black and using the pen tool with white to chisel out the form, similar to scratch board. Most of this process was done with fingertip.”

See the stunning result in black and white and with color.

Permalink“Last summer I created a set of conceptual drawings for my friend’s hotel. His plan is to redesign it as a dinosaur-themed property because of its close proximity to Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado. I produced eighteen sketches based on his initial conceptual write-up and since then he’s used my sketches for everything from talking to his local city council to sharing it with his architects.”
Check out the dinosaur hotel featured on The Oatmeal and see all the sketches on the Best Western Denver Southwest site.

PermalinkWe recently discovered Colombianisms by Armando Garcia-Jacquier, a sketch journey through the streets of Colombia.
On his blog, Armando says:
I have recently moved to a small city in Colombia, west of Bogota, and while the change has not been easy, I have begun to look for ways to make my transition to this new place more pleasant. Looking on the brighter side of things, I have begun to find the beauty in the peculiarities of this land that is Colombia.
Armando’s colorful creations explore familiar institutions in an unfamiliar place (the juice seller, the ubiquitous snack vendor…), making each one feel like a postcard from a faraway friend.
