Now it's easier to create something like this, since there is a drawing app for iPad and iPhone and a lot of other software that provide simple and understandable functionality for creating graphics. Now almost every designer uses at least 2-3 tools for their work.

hi @Mateusz your work is really great! I am looking for this script to translate my hand sketches into vectors and print it off. Would you mind sharing your grasshopper file? will really appreciate!

Hi,

I was wondering if you are willing to share this file. It would be really helpful.

AB :

Mesh heightmap from image > slice the mesh with xy plane > delaunay mesh from section polylines > extract face centers > use image sampler again with the center points this time > cull those which are not dark enough > proximity 2d(2 neighbors) > create lines to neighbors with 1/2 length (faster than removing the duplicates) > join all the lines > smooth them somehow (i used 3 steps of laplacian smoothing made with proximity)

This is of course a rough explanation, you'll need to set all the values properly.

Any hints as to what strategy you used?

The results look great!
