Urban Sketching is important to me because it helps me relate with the environment around by studying and portraying its nuances, narrating the story for the others to appreciate the underlying beauty ...hoping that appreciation for the urban environment would spread and more will join this revolution.

I learn so much about a place from the close observation necessary to draw it. Before I became an urban sketcher in 2011, I looked at things in my own hometown every day without truly seeing them. When I started carrying and using a sketchbook daily, it’s as if I put on new glasses: Suddenly I saw details (sometimes entire buildings!) that I’d never noticed before. Now, whether I am at home or traveling, if I want to see closely and remember fully, all I have to do is sketch.

“Urban Sketching is important to me because…” Jean Edwards, USK Northampton Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide

Urbansketching is important to me because it brings me out into the world as an artist - sitting outside in front of what I am sketching. It has brought into contact and friendship with some great people. I’ve learned lots from talking to other urban sketchers and observing their work. I love the idea that we’re making a record of the world, a more personal view that a photograph could show.”

Urban Sketching offers me the opportunity to experience the world around me from a perspective typically missed in the peripheral of my daily life. By observing these scenes and recording them in the moment, I’m given a detailed rich memory I would not gain in any other way. The Urban Sketchers community has provided a continuous source of support and personal growth inspiring me through the stories and expressions from each member's lives.

“Urban Sketching is important to me because…” Virginia Hein, USK Los Angeles Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide

Sketching on location simply makes me happy in a way that nothing else does. I love the focused attention of observing a place, and responding to it by making a drawing. I love the immediacy and unpredictability of observing and drawing life as it happens. It’s always fresh, never exactly the same twice, and my response changes too—with a new insight, a different material, observation of a different mood or light. I try to grasp what is essential to a place, as well as catch what I see and feel there in that particular moment. I feel the sense of community I’ve found in Urban Sketchers whether I’m sketching on my own or with a group…since the feeling of shared purpose is part of what inspires and continues to motivate me.

“Urban Sketching is important to me because‌â€? Kip Bradley, Urban Sketcher, Savannah GA Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide

The more technology is integrated into our lives, the more important low-tech activities like sketch-booking become. I enjoy the simplicity, growth, and present-ness that come from being engaged with a physical moment. I participate in the Urban Sketchers community because it's open and based on artistic growth, and a shared desire to capture the world around us. It's a neat almost altruistic way to through their observations of the things and places around them. Urban Sketchers is a worldwide community bonded in the simple joy of making.

“Urban Sketching is important to me because…” Leigh Ferst USK New York City Urban Sketchers Logo Identity Guide

I sketch because it brings me great joy to focus all my energy on absorbing the moment, intently observing the world around me, and creating an original image.. A focused concentration can be distilled and spontaneously shared with others. Urban Sketching as a movement absorbs this energy and generously spreads it all over the world.
