Added watercolor to another sketch from this summer. This is the Chuckbox, est. 1972, surrounded by new apartments and hotels. Best burgers on the planet. #usk #tempe #urbansketching

Adding watercolor to some sketches from downtown Tempe this summer.
House of Tricks was a beloved restaurant that was torn down, but the original historic building was saved, I sketched these while it was up on wheels before it was moved around the block. #urbansketchers #tempe #usk

Señor Tacos on Baseline in Tempe, sketched from the car, added watercolor later. Turns out #inktober is just like, a bunch of prompts, and I'm not doing that, so I shall continue just sketching all the stuff that's in front of me! #urbansketchers #urbansketch #usk

So it's #inktober, not to be confused with #rocktober. Not sure how this works but I'll just draw and post every day this month. This morning, a stop in Kiwanis Park and then up to ASU. #usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers

I really like R&K "Lotte" sketchink. It dries fast and is waterproof like Carbon Black but it's got slightly less sheen to it. Canson has some mixed media and watercolor spiral bound pads with hard covers that I like because I can remove pages, they fold flat,and the hard back is good on-the-go

Love my Safaris! I've collected several since I discovered fountain pens last winter. I got a gold F nib for my main black one so now it's like a $150 safari and I always freak when I can't find it lol

Had a great lunch at Fate Brewing in Tempe on Saturday before heading over to play some pinball at the Electric Bat!
These are a couple of sketches of the bar area. Working on trying to capture figures more quickly. #urbansketch #pendrawing #usk

This is great exposure! Great job by everyone in the video! I think the “flash mob” angle lead in is kinda weird though..

It's starting to cool off in the morning! Rode up to ASU today and sat in the shade of Hayden library to sketch the view towards downtown Tempe. #urbansketchers #urbansketch #urbansketching #usk #pendrawing #sketch #citysketch

It's been way too hot to sketch outside for several months, so I've been doing a lot of parking lot sketching in my car. #urbansketchers #urbansketch #urbansketching #usk #pendrawing #sketch #citysketch
