      Good day,

      I was wondering if anyone has suggestion on possible plugins/techniques I could use to make my schematic/early design phase drawings look more presentable and interesting.

      Currently I draw on sketch trace paper over a massing model I do in Sketchup. I'll use pictures I find on Pinterest to communicate what each space/item might look and feel like. I was hoping there was a plugin I could use to make these drawings look more artistic and accurate. Maybe something I could use within Sketchup to 'paint' or 'draw' over a massing model.

      Thanks in advance,

      Mark

        Kind of difficult to give you a concise answer without seeing examples of what you’re now doing . Most effective NPR artistic style presentations are a combination of exporting various raw SU images , “ quick and dirty “ renders and manipulating them in software like PhotoSketcher then combining it all in a photo editing program. I can personally recommend the book “Digital Watercolor “ by Alan Casas it’s in the scetchUcation store. Also might be worth cruising through the Post Processing thread on this forum . Most of the posts are older but still good info and links there. Suggest looking a what others are doing and their workflows and then adapting that to your needs.
