No, not the shoes…people who sketch! Something that most people in the architectural field started doing when they were a kid or found interesting in art class is sketching in place–going somewhere, be that a park bench, a bus-stop, a sidewalk cafe, a city square or just a seat on a front stoop, and drawing what you see in front of you. The Urban Sketchers are an international group of people connected by the web who enjoy location drawing in mostly urban situations and share their passion and works with one another and with anyone who is interested. They state their mission in this fashion:
We aim to show the world, one drawing at a time.
Location drawing is probably something that most architects would like to do more of…so let their work be an inspiration to you. Get out and sketch!
