A downtown Cleveland sketch crawl



Sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately, but it's been for a good cause. Well, several of them. I'll be back on track soon, but in the meantime I'm tossing you this drawing and urging you to come to the first Cleveland Sketch Crawl on Saturday, Oct. 6. It's going to be very cool. If you don't know downtown Cleveland, I can tell you that it's a beautiful old industrial city rich in visual stimulation. I love to draw there, and it'll be great to do it with others. And if you're a not-too-far-out-of-towner and you need encouragement and/or directions, please let me know.

You can see details right here .

Karen,
What a great sketch! I love urban sketches with all of their buildings - and especially love your cars and bus!

This is a great sketch,Karen - you make it look simple, but I know that fitting in so many elements is really difficult - I can't wait to see what you do at the sketchcrawl!

Karen, your drawings are just wonderful. So full of personality! I spent the very worst year of my life in Cleveland when I was eight (it wasn't Cleveland's fault). You make it look like a charming city. I love your Art Saves concept! He is fetching indeed! I like his funny feet.

I love the personality in this sketch - the tilt of the cars, the body language of the people walking, the friendly colors - it's all just great.
