I found it on Louise Gouët's instagram and loved her work and the idea so much it became a little present I give myself. Giving yourself little presents is one of the things that I recently added to my repertoire of survival skills and now I recommend it to everyone. Especially now. But that is a reason for a whole separate post.
About this game: I go to the mapcrunch website which gives me a random street view from Google maps. And then draw stuff that I see! Granted some adjustments are needed often - but it's a great start! And if I wanted an urban scene - I just go to google maps and do a street view of a city I want to visit one day. These are mostly super-quick 2x4 inches sketches on whatever paper I have in my pockets (which is a story for another post!)
And then I post it with the #locationdrawathome tag on Instagram.
Try it out and send me a link / tag me on Instagram to see!
Great little thumbnails! I agree about the daily presents... I like to have several concrete things to look forward to in the not-too-distant future. Like getting a takeout pizza this week. Or sketching the alley next week. Or making Dalgona coffee this afternoon. Small things, but important to survival.
ReplyDeleteI came across this post this morning in Feedly and I'm in! Did my first sketch this morning of what turned out to be a road in Russia and posted it on Instagram at foxartist. https://www.instagram.com/foxartist/
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. Thanks!
