Over the years each time, I encountered a beautiful hand-drawn sketch, have tried to mimic it in Sketchup and here you will find some of them for free:

A sneak peek:

سلام به همگی
طی این سالهاییکه با اسکچاپ کار میکردم هرموقع یه اسکیس دستی دیدم سعی کردم استایل اسکچاپیش رو درست کنم و به این ترتیب تعدادی استایل شخصی جمع شد.
سه تاش رو بصورت رایگان در این پست قرار دادم که امیدوارم خوشتون بیاد
معمولا به
Monochrome, Hidden line
و درحالیکه سایه روشنه بهترین جواب رو میگیرید.
همیشه هدف ارائه نهایی نبوده و خیلی وقتا اصلا ارائه دانشجویی یا هنری مد نظرم بوده...
لطفا سری بزنید به این پست

This set tends to hand-drawn sketching mood. More than 20 styles I have developed over years. Some precise and some very loose.
I hope you like them. I will share them all on the Shop.

Here is another set, designed for conceptual presentation to ignite discussion or heavily artistic expression. Hereby I attach one and will share the set on the Shop.

Brown pen Stright lines and black charcoal Sky.zip

Over time I have developed and built up a set of styles for different presentation purposes.
While in the initial phases of design, we usually do not care about details or materials or we are in a hurry to rapidly prepare a decent presentation. I have developed a handful of sketchy styles based on a selection of the best sketches I have ever seen.

Here you will find one of them zipped and I will share more on the Shop section.
I hope you find them handy as well.

I spent some time finalizing and publishing a new short Skillshare course. This is after grand masters; James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Seago. I have tried to simplify and describe everything in detail:

@jscottsmith Very informative.
Do you use Blender3D for modeling?

Thanks, mates and dear Bep for sharing your thoughts and the link to the city archive. Amsterdam is an astounding miniature of sheer beauty and a lovely city full of architectural details to be discovered over a lifetime.
This is great I will benefit and I used to see some amazing drawings from the archive.
The postcards are not meant to be artistic or documentary. They are for a very helpful friend of mine who sells them to the city visitors ( https://www.fineartprints.nl/?srsltid=AfmBOorfvXMCOuFizu2hSoBIPPQRZ4jHzoSUkftRSBaOHGgtffN-DK4P). So I have to make them cheap in less time...Also some repetitive elements such as goblestones, canals, bridges, a bicycle, city lamps and boats must be included and all in all not bigger than A5 paper size, mainly A6!
I have to make many and not two the same... By the way an enjoyable thing to do.

@ntxdave ah, thanks mate for your warm welcome. I have been dead busy doing jobs, not having the chance to meet you here (virtually)

Had the chance to make more...

Ah mates.
It has been a while since I have been here last time and seems much has happened. Thank you all for sharing your (AI generated) renders and ideas.
I used to roam here and linger from time to time. Sketchucation is my second home in fact, although recently I have been dead busy and on the other hand the internet is not stable enough to reach here.
In the last few hours of NASA Moon to Mars challenge, I wrapped up two ideas and submitted them. All in all, I had only 5 hours to do it. I wish I hit google earlier and had more time,
This is sort of off-topic, yet it is worth sharing. (from my Skybound Structures book sketches)

@pixelcruncher My pleasure to do that. I guess it works for beginners to get familiar with the interface and materials and those who are specially into product rendering.

I had the chance to prepare a video on utilizing Rayscaper in product (car) rendering.

Here is the link to it, Happy Rayscapering!:

@Mike-Amos Maybe they are using AI to study human behavior regarding making money for themselves. I used to use the free plan.

@pixelcruncher
I used a combination of a 3D model and a "face me "component for grass.
I made a very simple component ( a square and a vertical line) then included my grass models inside it. The simple one is on one "tag" or layer and the detailed and face me model are on another "tag" or layer. Then made the "heavy" tag/layer invisible to move between scenes,
This way I can handle grass easily.

Hi all,
I am wondering if CompoSpray works on SU 2023-24?

@Mike-Amos you are right dear friend.

@pixelcruncher Thanks.
It could be way better. It was a test.
My machine does not handle high-poly trees. Otherwise the result could be more real.

Here are some more renders of the same model.
