A Sketchbook spread of two separate moments. One during a commute home, the other during a sketch meetup at the Don Jail historic site.

Sketching the subway one day... A jail cell the next? #urbandrawing @usktoronto.bsky.social @urbansketchers.bsky.social #ink #watercolour

Watercolour, ink and coloured pencil. Sketch of historic jail cells.

Went sketching at the historic Don Jail a couple weeks ago. I don't know if I could go there alone to sketch, so it was comforting to sketch with a group! The building is now used as an extension to a hospital.

Commuter sketches. Ink and watercolor

Some commuter sketches from last week. I spent a lot of time last year working in black ink only in my pocket sketchbook. I love how far a little colour goes!

Went for a little bike ride to Woodbine Beach! There was a volleyball tournament happening... Which suddenly ended and then there were hundreds of people walking at me. I packed up and scittered away.

Sketchbook study of two men chatting in the park.

Sketch in the park to beat the heat! Trying to find little moments that tell a story. Hoping that these summer sketches can inform book illustration projects in the future. #urbandrawing #kidlitart @usktoronto.bsky.social @urbansketchers.bsky.social @scbwicanadaeast.bsky.social

Pen and ink illustration of houses. Drawn outside during my lunch break.

Lunch break house sketches! Completed the second side... I had more time for the second one, and tried out more delicate and slow lines... I still prefer the first one I think!

There is a pen lying on top of an open sketchbook. The open pages show a black fineliner drawing of a park scene with stone features, flowers, plants, grass, paths, hedges & tree.

I sat sketching with a friend in my local park yesterday, this is my result.
