Makes urban sketches of places: loose fountain-pen lines with quick watercolour washes left unfinished at the edges. Place names and a short note are set in handwritten-style type under each sketch. Drawn by a picture model with any words set in real type afterwards, so spelling is exact. Needs a FAL_KEY or a Cloudflare Workers AI key; about $0.01 to $0.02 a picture. Use when someone wants sketches of a building or street, travel sketchbook pictures, or hand-drawn pictures of places.

Make sketches of our bookshop for our website

It said back

I drew four sketches of the bookshop and put them on one sheet with captions. This version has no readable lettering in the pictures, but one faint smudge is left in the street scene (below).

Files (in sketches/):

  • sheet.png is the sheet, titled "Our Bookshop", with the four pictures in a 2×2 grid.
  • pictures/front.png is "The shop front", the red brick, green door and bench.
  • pictures/window.png is "In the window", with stacked books and a sleeping cat.
  • pictures/bench.png is "The bench", with a few books and a cup left on it.
  • pictures/street.png is "Our quiet street", with a bicycle by the wall.
  • plan.json and sheet.html are there if you want to change the captions. Run the script with --sheet-only to rebuild the sheet.
