Hi all! Slightly different video today but I wanted to share some thoughts and ideas for a question I've been asked quite a few times! I love to use Mapcrunch and Google Maps in my artwork, so today I'm tlkaing through my process and some layout ideas for filling your sketchbook by using these map sites for references. It's a really great way to push out of your comfort zone and draw different areas and I hope you find it helpful! Thanks so much for watching and I'll speak to you soon, Katie x

Thank you Katie, this was so helpful. I've used mapcrunch once but didn't know how to navigate through it. I appreciate your clear instruction, demonstration, and how how transfer your views into images for your sketchbook. Love the mix of panel pages and full spreads. I so enjoy your work. Now, to get "traveling" and begin to play and create.

Thank you so much for Krista, I'm so pleased it was helpful! I really love creating from these views and you never know what you'll find! I hope you enjoy creating in your sketchbooks now the whole world has opened up to "travel" to! 😃

Your Patreon was the first time I’d heard of MapCrunch - I didn’t know it was even a ‘thing’ but you’ve opened my eyes to endless possibilities ! Thank you

Very useful...me being one of the people who keeps asking about map crunch 😆 I've always used it on a laptop so maybe it's better to zoom around on a tablet 🤔

Haha it's a great suggestion!! I usually use my computer for Mapcrunch/Google Maps but I couldn't work out how to record without screen lines and I didn't want to do a screen recording 😂

You are the second person I’ve watched who uses Mapcrunch….I’m going to have to try it! I live in a rural area which is nice, but it might be fun to get some city scenes and different types of architecture. Going to need to get a scetch book just for mapcrunch

It's such a great tool! I find it so helpful for pushing myself and discovering places I would never think to draw! Hope you have fun with it 😄

Thanks for demystifying Map Crunch! I was having a hard time navigating the site. Can I ask which sketchbook you are using ? It seems like a good size and able to handle lots of mediums. Thanks.

@KatieMoody 9 ай бұрын

No problem at all, so glad it was useful! Of course, I use the Royal Talens Art Creations sketchbooks! They handle a lot of mixed media really well and are affordable so I'm not precious in them! 🤗

@Jane-ny7wb 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for getting back. I have yet to try Royal Talens but it sounds like the perfect sketchbook for what I am looking for. I want to use mixed medium and I agree when sketchbooks or paper are less expensive it's easy to experiment and not be precious.@@KatieMoody

At first I was like ‘wow, just imagine Katie opened some random ugly urban view and now she thinks your country looks totally like that’ And right that moment you opened my country. Of course, it was the ugliest view you can ever imagine 💀

Oh this made me laugh so much 🤣 That's the only thing with this method -- it's not a great representation of a whole country 😅
