27th Worldwide Sketchcrawl

My very first Sketchcrawl.. Yippie...!!! Yes!! I made it through the sketchcrawl!!

I had been skeptical about the feasibility of a Sketch event... with a friend... Come on!! I asked Manu if he could join me. He said he could.. he would drive around and then I could draw what I saw.. Then he came up with a suggestion.. Why not call Madhavi!? She is a fabulous company for all art related events.. And the best part is, she us not crowdophobic (or whatever that's called..) - is that claustrophobic - well whatever..

I wasn't so sure, 'cause she's not been sketching at all in recent times. And so I wondered if she would join me at all.. Well, I had a whale of a time!! They were a wonderful 3 hours of going to different places and sketching.. We went to the Village of Rochester Hills, then to the Auburn Hills Library and finished it with a coffee at the nearby Starbucks.. Tanush and Dad enjoyed a good peaceful nap at home...

Along with sketchcrawl, I did some photocrawl too (hehe, with the intention that I would color all the results of the sketchcrawl.. yes.. that was the intention.., but I am uploading them in the raw form here itself..)














These are Mads' drawings... Had fun..








and a satisfied WE after the sketchcrawl...

Wow, somebody's been really productive within three hours! :) Really cool sketches, I'm curious to see them in color!
Glad you had so much fun! I really need to do a crawl myself sometime.

Alex said...

These sketches are awesome really =) And it's really interesting to see so many things happening around you, and that's you're able to capture them with your sketchbook.

Well done, Linisha! I have so far done Solo Sketchcrawls. I am sure it must be fun to sketch with others.

Great sketches and sounds like a wonderful day! I just realized that you live in Michigan. So do I, about half hour south of Detroit near the Toledo border. Perhaps one day we can do a downtown Detroit sketchcrawl.
