At the HistoEx even with #UskManila, I wanted to sketch the historical #Renacimiento re-enactors as I had before in Luneta Art Fair (see sketches No. 99-2981-4), but only managed these doodles while I was jostled by the crowd. for my second sketch, fed up with being elbowed in the crowd, I stood outside of the exhibition area, looking in, to sketch. This crowd were watching a talk…I’m not sure what it was about, as I was busy drawing!

This really is such a better way to capture a place and moment than a photograph. I’m not someone who can sketch very well this way, but I would dearly love to be able to capture memories like this in sketch. Another great piece. Well done 👏👏
People and crowds are not really my favourite subject but I like to try. It certainly helps to remember the events!
