Create a plane, subdivide, create some bumps, select a ring of edges, extend the selection, with Select > Select Loops > Edge Loops, duplicate the selection and separate with P:

Convert to curve:

Do the same with the perpendicular edge loops (you could also have selected all the faces of the plane and removed the faces only but the curves would not be perpendicular afterwards, I don't know if it's important), join the 2 curve objects into one, rotate the object with double R until you have the wanted perspective:

in Edit mode scale it 0 on Z, export the object as svg, import it in your vectorial app:

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, so ive managed to create a subdevided plane (large) sculpted some bumps and selected the edge loops. But now im unsure on how to proceed with the DUPLICATE SELECTION and SEPERATE WITH P ? I have a screenshot added on top $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Shift D to duplicate but instead you could select all and X > Only Faces $\endgroup$
