My drawing of Hersheypark (with a surprise)

[coastermaniac]

Those drawings are amazing.

Kumbarider1993, if you're referring to the construction site then yes. I've already began playing around with that corner of it. Not a whole lot I can do now until the ride goes vertical. Even when that happens, I'll draw it on the map in stages. Same goes with Comet Hollow when the changes start occurring down there. When everything is pretty much complete, I'll post a 2012 image of the drawing.

Wanted to show you guys some of the recent work done to my drawing.

^That's crazy good drawing dude!!! I wish I could draw like that

Thanks, you can see more pics at the beginning of this thread.

Wow! That's amazing! How did you learn to sketch like this? What's your plan for the final drawing? It looks like you've put a lot of work into this and I'm curious to hear what your plan is for the finished project!

I used Bing aerial and satelite imagery, Flying Phil's aerial imagery, Google Streetview and my own personal park photos. Overall, it all came together really well. This image will never be completed simply because we all know the park isn't done growing and changing. That's why I made it entirely out of pencil so it would be easy to go in there and make changes when needed.

Yes of course, I'm just being exited

 

And it's not like there's not enough eye-candy to begin with! It'll probably take me a year or so to soak in this whole drawing anyways.

Glad you like the drawing. Feel free to "soak it in" as much as you want!

I didn't see this thread the first time it was around but I have to chime in and tell you how impressive it is! Have you considered doing a high quality scan of these someplace like Kinkos? That way you could make it into a large PDF that is scalable, etc. I know I would love to be able to explore it a little more!

Here are some better images of my drawing:

Looks great. The only nitpick I have is that Whirlwind's (the funnel slide) perspective seems to be a little off. It looks a bit flattened.

^^Wow! That is amazing.

[bejackso]

uh...........incredible. nice job.

How much you want for that drawing?

[HPCrazy]

Sorry, it's not for sale.

 

I've now motivated myself to work on more of the parking lot portion. Right now I currently have the Giant Center completed as well as the surrounding parking lots about half complete. Expect some photos of these areas once I'm finished with them.
