Small children in neon green safety vests gather around a dark green lamppost, pencil and watercolor pencil sketch by Gwendolyn Holbrow, 2026
At least the lamppost stood still!

A pen and coloured pencil sketch by illustrator Emma Quay of a boy in a stripy jumper drawing in the sand with a stick.
Quicksticks. (Does anyone say that any more?) ✍🏻 One of the speediest sketches I’ve done (not sure about the ‘third eye’ fringe line.) A boy at the park drawing in the sandpit.

Pencil and watercolour sketch of a fancy bit of a derelict building.
This is a pencil and watercolour sketch I did on location of a derelict building near where I live. You can see the trees growing out of it.
This was ages ago though and I've watched it be renovated and restored over the last few years.

A kidslit illustration I did a while ago called The Red Forest. I don’t often do kids illustration but I had fun with it! #kidslitart #scbwi #childrensillustration #watercolor #walktosee
Drawing of a cat crouched next to a chain link fence that is on wheels.
I saw my little street cat friend again, the one from by the railroad tracks. He didn't mind my gaze, but crouched and slid under the fence when a pedestrian walked by. #cat #ink #sketch #urbansketching #walktosee

I placed an in-shop order for a special pizza pie so I could sketch the scene as I await my order. All good!

An open sketchbook with a coloured pencil sketch by illustrator Emma Quay of a toddler girl walking across the road wearing blue rain boots and a floral aqua and pink anorak. A pink pencil lies on the page.
Do you think someone spotted me drawing her? 👀

The tractor ahead of us was moving slow but it also allowed me to sketch it quickly. Finished the line hatching later.
A small farm tractor slowed us down on the road but it gave me the opportunity to sketch what I saw. Finished the work later with line hatching.

I like watching a crowd to sketch like this group of Xiangqi players in Columbus Park, Chinatown, NY.

I’m sitting in A&E with my son who’s hurt his leg after a back flip (because of course, why not?)
I was quietly sketching away, trying to be subtle when these lovely ladies came over and sat opposite.
‘You can do us if you like!’
So I did. They were so tickled
