Drawings of Auckland
Digitally Hand DrawnAs part of an early 2018 Critical Studies course that looked at public space, I drew a number of views of Aotea Square and Mount Eden Village.
These drawings were all done on a Surface Pro tablet using Autodesk’s SketchBook Pro drawing software. The scenes were based on photographs I took onsite that show the public spaces. The sections were also drawn digitally, but used a variety of methods to gain the final composition.
