Urban Sketchers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel. We aim to show the world, one drawing at a time.
By making a donation to our nonprofit you'll be supporting the work of urban sketchers around the world. The funds we raise will be used for artists' grants, scholarships, educational workshops and publications.

Our Manifesto
1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.

If you'd like to start your own USk blog and connect urban sketchers in your city, country or region, here's how we can help:
1. Get a group of a minimum of three sketchers together interested in launching the blog.
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 of sketchers.
3. We'll create a blog for you and give you full administration privileges. You'll be able to invite people to participate, personalize it with your own flag, add links and so on. We'll just expect you to swear by the USk manifesto as much as we do. That's all.
Inspired already? Take a look at some folks who've been there done that:
USk Spain new!
USk Istanbul new!
USk Sardinia new!
USk Indonesia new!
USk Portugal new!

I understand the definition of gloomy looking at your sketch…
This is brilliant!
The colours work perfectly.
To me the theme here is "intrusion". Both the railway and the sign are rather brusquely imposed on the district.
Love this - perfect! Every European town of a reasonable size has a corner that looks almost exactly like this. Lovely drizzle-day colours.
great sketch, love the contrast of the bright new "lidl" logo with the centuries old town feeling.
Wow, great capture of gloomy day.
Great, great, great!
Fantastic!
such an amazing sight!!!!
Great play with grey tones and the bright accents of the LIDL logo. Totally ironic that the LIDL logo is the only glimmer of light, since as a hard dicsounter, it's a pretty depressing place to shop too ;) So it's still very much a variation around the same theme. Very consistent;)
Superb. Liège for sure.
Thank you for the comments !
The day was gloomy, but I've had pleasure to draw... And now I've pleasure to read your comments !
