I see that many people on this forum like Sim City 4. Does anyone else also draw cities? Feel free to upload the cities you've drawn, if you have a scanner or something else. I like to draw cities, this is how I draw them (sorry for it being so big, my scanner also works perfectly as a microscope).

And this is the biggest city I've drawn: Blaland

Btw, just a reminder (because we've had a lot of posts about Sim City 4 here), we have a topic about Sim City, so I recommend posting there if your posts are only about the game, and not related to drawing cities in any way.

Hahaha! It works as a microscope!

I don't have a scanner, and when I was younger I would do that and then make street courses like Need For Speed Underground and Most Wanted...

I used to draw racing courses when I was younger too. I liked racing and racing cars when I was younger, I have both of those games, even though I liked racing with "real" racing cars and courses better, like Gran Turismo.

Sadly I've decided not to buy a PS3, so I can't play it.

It sounds so awesome, with more than six cars in a race.

Yes, far better than six... But still... Le Mans isn't Le Mans without at least 40 cars.

I hear NASCAR is gonna be in there. Nascar isn't NASCAR without 43 cars. Although, as long as EA doesn't make it, I'm happy. Polyphony ftw

I also both have SimCity 4 (my old favorite game) and Cities XL. But there's still nothing like drawing a city.

There's much more freedom.

I agree but I don't draw any, but I drew one before. I lost it, or did I?

deoxy99 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:08:02 PM »

I can take a picture of it when I find it if I can and it's in red ink and on notebook paper. It's messy, so I'll clear it with Photoshop.

Bla · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:14:07 PM »

I always use pencils, and do this:
1) Draw the land and water borders.
2) Draw the first roads.
3) Begin to draw buildings.
4) Erase the borders on the roads where you want new roads to cross etc., and draw the new roads.
5) Draw more buildings along them.

Simplified. But that's how I do it most of the time.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:19:07 PM »

I just draw. I don't care about mountains...I don't put them, I just draw the land mass, then the buildings, then the roads, and I just remember to not make the lines of the sides converge, I just make the roads in a way that is normal.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2010, 04:05:46 PM »

Look at it here!

Bla · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2010, 05:33:51 AM »

Yes, that looks very good.

Another way to draw them.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2010, 03:30:51 PM »

Maybe I can find one I have drawn...

deoxy99 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 24, 2010, 10:06:25 AM »

I drew that at school by the way, and my (mean) friend told me I needed names for the streets and a name for my city, and that is what I got.

Soon, I might upload my drawing of Blaland... If I can find a site which hosts 1.98GB/709 megapixel images...

A preview of Blaland is available in my newest video:

If anyone should happen to know such a site, they're more than welcome to tell me.

HOLY MOTHER THAT IS MASSIVE

Oh yeah, sometimes I draw cities as well.

Bla · « **Reply #23 on:** October 02, 2010, 02:27:58 PM »

If you have a scanner, you could upload them. It could be funny to see how other brains control organisms to draw cities.

Okay...

I don't has a scanner... Nor do I know where any of my drawn cities are. I will search for some if I remember. I have my handy light that creates no shadow due to the epic angleage that I can manipulate from it.

How two human beings on entirely different continents can be told by their brainz to draw a city.
