Jacques Pochoy Architect D.P.L.G - Urban Planner

Jacques drew this by hand, scanned it, used Streamline to vectorize it, and then
imported it to PowerCADD. For the final image, he colorized it in Photoshop.

I usually scan or draw directly my sketches with a small Wacom tablet instead of a mouse. Lead pencil or electronic pencil, the posture is the same (leaning back in the chair, staring at the ceiling blankly, and sipping coffee) and most important you find the posture you are used to! So those drawings can't be confused with the next door guy. I still have to go back and forth through other software to get exactly the style I want, but the capacity of PowerCADD in translating drawings in other formats without any losses just get the process a swift thing!

I love WildTool's Squiggle! Not because it gives a 'hand drawn feeling' (I like it, anyhow) but because I can give the client non-precise drawings until he gets his mind done (and my cheque)!

A commercial center. A napkin sketch scanned (Streamline to
PowerCADD) and colored (Photoshop). The beginning of a project.

A computer 'hand sketch' is quick and handy.
Drawn in Illustrator, imported to PowerCADD.

A commercial center. A master plan with an aerial photo.

A commercial center. Just the 'feeling' that things can be done.

A Moscow project (drawn entirely in PowerCADD),
next to the Sokolnoniki park. Sakharov vouched for it.
