I have been following a few of my friends’ urban sketching in Singapore for a while and invited myself to the last urban sketching of the year while I visited. Since I was traveling, my art supply only included a pen and a sketchbook.

It was delightful sketching the soon-to-be-redeveloped Peace Centre with friends and learning from urban sketchers around me. It was also rejuvenating doing something I hadn’t done before and growing from the experience.

Will I do this again in San Francisco? You bet.

Enjoy a raw sketchbook spread next to my friends’ after 2 hours of sketching and a time-lapse of my digital painting afterwards:
