If you want to start your own USk blog and connect all urban sketchers in your city, here's how to go about it:
1. Get a group of a minimum of 3 sketchers together interested in launching an USk blog for your city. 2. Send your names and e-mail addresses to urbansketchers at gmail dot com with a brief paragraph stating your interest in launching the blog and how you plan to keep it fresh and engage your community. You will be the blog's administrator and will be expected to run it following the rules of the group. A blog that becomes a showcase of drawings made from photos or doodles will obviously not fly. 3. We'll create the blog and give you full access to it. You'll be able to invite people to participate, personalize it with your own flag, add links and more. So, what are you waiting for? Get your fellow citizens out to sketch!

i love the architecture and the fabulous drawing, are these buildings abandoned? that would be a shame
I absolutely love this!
I love your sketch!

Whoa- amazing work, Tin!
you guys are too kind...haha....although I would have to disagree that it's the 'best' piece on here Alex ;P ..I feel like the incredible work on this blog is putting me to shame. all you guys are such great inspiration to me....!!..I just wish I had more time to dedicate to life drawing these days :) HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!
