Sketch Crawl

When I saw everyone’s sketches at the sketch crawl I realized how different every person’s sketching strategies are. When it comes to adding color to each of our sketches, some did dramatic color and some so slim that it was barely an accent, yet with each tactic the sketches were still just as amazing. Sketching from my classmates and the Urban Sketchers were amazing and interesting to see the differences throughout. My strengths with sketching are my perspectives and being able to see the spaces put to paper, my weakness however, is adding color. I usually have a hard time adding color to my sketches because it either becomes overwhelming or I end up not liking it as much as when it was just ink. In sketches since the Sketch Crawl (and at the sketch crawl) I have tried to use color more subtly in order to accent color but without accidentally overwhelming and ruining my sketches. I plan to continue to do this and to eventually add more color and try different medias with time. Being able to experience the sketch crawl was very interesting and fun. I look forward to continuing to sketch on and off whenever I travel from now on as an inspiration from the Urban Sketchers.
