Urban Sketching: See the world one drawing at a time
February 28, 2015 9:44 PM Subscribe
The Urban Sketching Manifesto:
1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
Been following the Urban Sketchers for years. Wonderful things have been posted. Here's to them.

Wonderful variety of technique. Draftsmanship and composition. (missed a Flickr controversy?)

Wasn't there a time when Flickr explicitly started removing drawings because they weren't photographs? It was a dark time.

For a more casual, intermittent urban sketching experience, there's Sketch Crawl.
