Saturday Sketch-Time Warner

Last week's sketching was at the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. The day was cold and early on there were very few people. As the hours passed, people arrived to eat. shop, walk and hangout. Most of our group was out due to the flu...can you sketch a virus?

Sketchcrawl 38 New York City





















































Worldwide Sketch Crawl 38

It was a great day of sketching for the 38th WWSC. The NYC Sketchers group was out in full force with quite a few first timers! It was a fluid group-coming and going, but a good time was had by all.

We also tried out a Tokyo group practice...sitting, eating and sketching...it was great.

2nd stop...Times Square

Dazzling and Awesome...

Compliments are always welcome.

A bit of show and tell...

Trains? Did anyone say trains?

Taking a page from the Tokyo playbook...eat a little something

Urban Sketchers NYC January 12, 2013

We went to the Chelsea Piers and sketched at their two skating rinks.  There were only two problems with the idea:
1)  Skaters almost never stand still.  It's their continuous movement that looks so beautiful.  But it's also their continuous movement that makes them really hard to capture in a drawing.
2)  There was no heated gallery where we were sketching.  It was continuously cold.









One skating rink had figure skaters and the other had teams practicing ice hockey. 

After we went to a restaurant where it was warm and the people sat reasonably still.
