Sketching Digitally

What is Google sketch up? Google Sketch up is a 3D modeling program designed for architects, civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It also includes features to facilitate the placement of models in Google Earth. It is designed to be easier to use than other 3D CAD programs



It truly is easier and lots of fun to play with.

What I tried to created was a fun backyard setting that the whole family could enjoy.

The place where the man is standing is clubhouse that children of all ages could play in. Then you have a climbing tower for the kids that seek adventure. Next to that you see the back of the seating area for the whole family. This is a place where parents can watch children talk or have a huge family barbecue. The far piece is the fence that then through painting and wood work it will become a mural.


An artist who digital work I really admire is Andrew J. Wallerstein

Wallerstein lives in New York he constantly tries to work and his work has been seen on album covers, posters and presentations for major companies like American Express.

When working in the digital format Wallerstein sees it as a new medium in fact he has said. “The new medium is not here to displace but to enhance, just as did the invention of paper, photography, the airbrush, and the endless list of other tools that have preceded us and our "machines".”

Digital Future

In Wallerstein Digital Future, I love his use of putting created images in a real location.
