I love to sketch and I do draw a lot of artwork for my business. I just haven’t had the time to do a lot of sketching<\/a> lately. Ideally, I should be doing at least one sketch a day. I was inspired to get back into it and while on vacation when I saw the blog Urban Sketchers<\/a>. This is fantastic! It’s not just urban sites but sketches of all different locations, for example: a view of the cabin while seated inside an airplane, people at a concert, landscapes and buildings and the First International Portland Urban Sketchers Symposium<\/a> (I’m glad to know about this).<\/p>\n

Individual artists posts their entries with their sketches.

Of course sketching those who are listening\/falling asleep will keep you awake.<\/p>\n
