A big ol’ tip on drawing cities from street-level. The drawings are pretty crude, (I did them very fast,) but I think they get the point across :) I’m sure some streets like in the first example actually exist in the world, but why would you choose to draw something so boringly bland?
Remember! Observe these things in real life as you walk around! This tip is just to make you aware. By observing in real life, is how you can really make it feel real!
Hope it helps you out!
Good things to keep in mind when drawing cities.
HIT-GIRL - The variant cover for the first issue of Hit-Girl from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. This was one of those assignments where I would have paid THEM to work on it. Inspired by Game of Thrones, an early sketch had an impaled Joffrey-like head on the ground :)
I have to physically restrain myself from reposting every Noto piece, but goddamn is this awesome.
Maurice Sendak, creator of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE passed away this week. There’s not many names you can mention that played a bigger role in nearly every kids life. That book has been in my house in some for or another since before I can remember. My son 2 copies now and will own many more thru his lifetime.
I thought a lot about that book this morning. I’ve said “That book isn’t as good as I always thought it was.” And after some time today, I’ve been wrong in saying that. The strength of that book is how vastly different it is being read thru the eyes of your 7 year old self than the 34 year old man I am now. I grumble at how quickly it moves and doesn’t actually show you that much in the way of imaginary worlds, or even WILD THINGS really.
But then I remember how big my mind was at 7. Those gaps are important, those spaces are crucial. They allowed me to imagine on my own where the wild things WERE instead of being told and shown every corner. Imagination is a powerful thing. That book shows the beginnings of it and allows you to fill it all in.
So today’s piece is a quick thank you to Maurice. I hope to revisit this subject over time in a more official manner but today we’ll just give a sketch.
In honor of the man who touched so many children’s lives, this and the rest of the weeks Daily Sketch proceeds will be donated to ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL. Thank you in advance for helping out.
