Andy Caldwell Architect

Grass pattern created with SketchTools

I think we need a new page in the Drawing Room giving examples of what can be done with the new SketchTools. The rendering possibilities seem vast, sometimes as a result of an accident as with the grass pattern sample above.

Andy Caldwell is an architect in Great Falls, Virginia. For more information on Andy, please see the entry for Robert Wilson Mobley Partnership under 'Architecture'.

Now let's look at how Andy 'planted his grass'. He started with a brush stroke with the Brush tool in SketchTools, then accidentally added an arrowhead.

Then he used the Area Patterning tool, jiggled the grass and put it all over a gradiant fill.

And here's a potted plant he did with the Brush tool.
