84-2630-1 – Many Views, One Story

These are the sketches I did at Workshop 2B “Many Views, One Story: Community Sketching Experience” with Maria Regina Tuazon, during the #UskQuezonCity Tagpuan Sa QC event. The workshop used a set of cards developed by Marc Taro Holmes in 2016, to encourage the group to sketch different views of the same place, arriving at a collective story (the venue was the Quezon Memorial Shrine).

We were also encouraged to write a line or two on the sketch, to tell the story of the setting, highlight particular features or overhead conversations. I picked cards suggesting I sketch the high point (first sketch in this post) and a garden feature like a fountain.

84-2627-9 – Drawing on the move

These are the sketches I did at workshop 1A: Drawing on the Move with Genine Carvalheira during the #UskQuezonCity Tagpuan Sa QC event, with the Executive Board of Urban Sketchers (Global). The workshop was about “learning to draw with speed and confidence” – so Genine had us sketch the the back of the Quezon Heritage House in QC Memorial Circle.

After some guidance (and a demo from her) she had us do it again…this time in three minutes. The middle sketch was done when we did a little walkabout near the park. I learnt to be a bit more fluid in the way I draw….if I want to draw super-fast!

84-2622 – Urban Chick

Here is my first sketch (of many) done during the #UskQuezonCity Tagpuan Sa QC (translated as “Meeting Place in Quezon City”) event. The Executive Board of Urban Sketchers (Global) were visiting for a series of events and activities. For me this kicked off with a “Drink and Draw” social evening at a little restaurant called Urban Chick along Maginhawa Street in QC. I arrived pretty early (I wasn’t sure how bad the traffic would be), so I started this sketch before the place filled up.
