Sketchy architectural rendering of 3dmodel...

[Ross Macintosh]

In the recent 'stop & post' thread I posted my first experiment trying to get a SketchUp model to look more sketchy using Xara Xtreme. Since then I've developed the techniques more, trying to achieve a style I can quickly and consistantly reproduce with different models.

If anyone wants more info on the techniques just ask. By the way, I used a blue line underlay on it as it relates to the traditional perspectivist's technique of using a blue non-repro pencil to rough up the perspective. I was trying to have it look like that blue linework was then drawn over by hand with a rapidiograph-type ink pen and then with pencil cross hatching. In reality the image is an example of Xara manipulation of three SketchUp jpg exports + a little bit of Xara touchups.

PS - sorry for the relatively large size. This one needed it.
