Introduce Yourself
Where do you live and what do you?
Have you done much sketching before or are you just starting?
What are your other creative pursuits?
Please include a link to your Flickr account, blog, Facebook page, Instagram, Tumblr etc.
So I’ll go first…
I’m Liz (I think you all know that!)
I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m an architect by profession and worked 20 years on a range of residential and commercial developments, specialising in media projects. I’ve always drawn as part of my work but in 2007 discovered watercolour and started my first daily sketchbook. I haven’t stopped sketching since!
I’m very interested in architectural history and theory and drinking tea out of fancy china teacups… but I’m guessing you all know that too!
You can find me on: Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram and Twitter using the buttons under ‘Connect on Social Media’ in the footer of this website.
Now it’s your turn…
Hi, my name is Lucie and I’m a physics teacher in Manchester. I Loved drawing as a kid, but stopped in my early 20s. I fell seriously ill earlier this year and picked up the pencils again as a way of helping me get better.
I’m blogging about my sketching adventures at http://bunnysketches.blogspot.co.uk (bunny is my nickname)
Hi Lucie, I’m in the UK (Bristol) too and I see several people from the Manchester area here, but just me down South! Will hop over to your blog later.
Hi everyone!
My name is Beliza, I live in the Grand-duchy of Luxembourg.
I have always loved drawing, but only started doing it regularly about 3 years ago.
I love that it is an “easy hobby”, meaning that I can take it anywhere and actually don’t need much fancy material for it either.
It has allowed also me to meet a lot of great people from all over the world.
And I love that you can always learn something new, explore different materials and new ways of sketching.
I’m a huge fan of comic books (any type really, European, American, Japanese, etc., as long as they are good) and love going to the movies.
I have a blog that keeps me motivated to sketch (http://belizamendes.blogspot.com). I’m also on Flickr (search for beliza_m) and Instagram (look for promethea13).
Looking forward to sharing my work and seeing yours!
Happy to see you here!!!!
My name is Elizabeth and I have lived in Sydney for 32 years. I am originally from Ottawa, Canada.
I have recently stopped working and have been looking for something artistic which pushes me.
I have always wanted to learn how to draw/paint but have never really pursued it. I like the idea and philosophy behind the sketching movement as it makes art and doing art accessible to all.
To sum up I am a beginner and feel I would really benefit from structure and guidance.
Hi. I’m a Western Australian girl who lives in Perth, but travels around the State on a regular basis. Earlier in the year I participated in Sketchbook Skool Beginnings. I have been urban sketching in my own way for a couple of years and alos have an interest in bookbinding.
Oops. No edit facility here. Mean “ALSO”.
Hi I am Ariel (Mr.) from Singapore. I’m into Interior Design. Sketching since young but mostly B&W. I’d like to add life to my sketches with some color wash similar to Liz’s style. I want to learn this approach in coloring and apply to different mediums and maybe with an IPad as welI. Also I travel occasionally and want to capture good scene moments with sketches and yes have my own sketchbook travelogue. Looking forward to start the lessons. Cheers everyone !
Yeah!!! Another Singaporean! Hi hi, I am Diana. I am a PE teacher. Art is a hobby I picked up only recently. 🙂 I like to learn a new medium.
