34th SketchCrawl

I didn't get much sketched at the SketchCrawl last Saturday and I wasn't pleased with most of what I did, but I really like to see other people's sketches, so I thought I better post a few myself. Here are some quick sketches of a few of the other sketchers. There are a few double exposures; Mary really didn't have a feather in her hat.



Even when the sketches aren't very satisfying, it's always fun to go out with the group and see what others are drawing.

  1. Vicki, I think your sketches are quite good, particularly the one of Marco. I bet if you look at them again in a couple of weeks, you'll like them. Sometimes it just takes a bit of objectivity!

  2. I agree with Janene--these are sketchy, but they catch a lot of great gestures and personality with just a few lines.

    I'm also delighted that you caught the detail of the stars on my socks. Must remember to wear fun socks to the next sketchcrawl as well!

Interactive Sketching in Portland Map

In late July of 2010, the city of Portland, Oregon (USA), became a canvas for drawing enthusiasts from around the world as Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) and Urban Sketchers (USK) hosted the 1st International Urban Sketching Symposium. The three-day event attracted participants and presenters from diverse corners of the world. In addition to the U.S., other countries represented were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Mauritania, Italy, Japan, Singapore, the Dominican Republic and Spain. The program consisted of lectures, panels, exhibits and field sketching sessions led by a diverse team of international presenters with backgrounds in art education, architecture, illustration and journalism. This blog documents the experience since the Symposium was announced in March. A selection of photographs from the event can be found in this flickr collection. Sketches produced by participants during the event can also be seeing on the Symposium flickr group.
