Drawing from reference
Yuko Shimizu used Google Maps as a reference tool for an Illustration she was doing of a New York cityscape. By using Google Maps she was able to capture different angles and smaller detail than she was able to see in other reference images. Yuko used the reference to form her initial sketch since she wanted to showcase a very particular area of the city. Through this form of reference, she was able to get different vantage points with the click of a button, without having to deal with the distractions and obstructions drawing from life can have.
Week 3 Reading: The Importance of Reference
Yuko Shimizu was asked by Mother Jones magazine to do a flood illustration. A flood that would take place in New York City. Where most people spend there days with not a care in the world. She had to pick a location that looks undeniably to New York City citizens. she choose Times Square so she downloaded a bunch of photos online but they did not work since they were not detailed enough about the city. So for reference she choose something she never though she could use as reference she used Google Map. She used it to get all the little details and live shots. It also goes to show that you can use anything for reference when you draw even when its something you never thought could be used for reference.
Week 3 Reading: The Importance of Reference
In Yuko Shimizu’s piece for Mother Jone’s magazine she used Google Maps as her reference. She mentions that with Google Maps she was able to digitally walk around and get reference of the buildings. This made it easier for her because she said that she wouldn’t have to sit somewhere for hours at a time and let other people see her rough sketches. With Google Maps Yuko was also able to get references of buildings that photographs or other images couldn’t get. This allowed her more freedom to move around and work on her project. Yuko used Google Maps to guide her during her drawing phase. She says that she was literately drawing while walking around in Google Maps. Lastly, she also used characters in her illustrations. Yuko mentioned one for her students and was inspired to draw a character like her. I don’t know if this would count as reference or inspiration but either way the illustration came out really well.
