It's borderline #urbansketching. It's urban, it's sketching, and it's an event I didn't create, I just drew. Almost fits my definition. Also, it's #figuredrawing

This #urbansketching is from the coffee bar at the local indy cafe. When it's too crowded and I don't get to sit at a table, there's the coffee bar. Then I draw up close and try to not get noticed.

This is day 3 in row of #urbansketching in my accordion book at the coffee shop, blasting ahead, rather than my usual impulse to conserve a fancy book. #bythehandofbob

This is an #urbansketching from yesterday in my accordion book, back at my usual coffee place. Happy to be back there. #bythehandofbob

This is a non-urban #urbansketching from 3 days ago as vacation in the far corner of the continent wrapped up. I'll find out how long the peace of being there lasts.

This is direct sketching but not #urbansketching since it’s lacking the urban, but more than compensates with insects.

This #urbansketching is from hours ago while touring an unfamiliar city and sitting on park bench that had a view of town. #bythehandofbob

Here’s another example of not #urbansketching from hours ago in the rugged picturesque area of this edge of the continent. #bythehandofbob

Not #urbansketching today. Instead, it’s some remote part of the continent.

This is 2 more postcards of #urbansketching. These are from minutes ago at the mega coffee joint. The style evolves over time. In the shop people have laptops.

Here&#39;s a little #urbansketching from this morning at mega coffee, now that I am back to civilian life from jury duty. Ink on envelopes.

Here&#39;s an #urbansketching postcard from moments ago. I dwelled on it a little longer than usual. At the good coffee place in town. The marks are very small, but may appear large on a screen.

For a few hours yesterday, with a brush on mulberry paper I decided to imagine being a fashion illustrator, looking at old fashion poses. Found out-- it&#39;s harder than I&#39;d think. Not #urbansketching

Again a sketch from fashion photography-- I am especially fond of stunt fashion as spectacle. This is another ink on mulberry paper. Not #urbansketching again.

This #urbansketching from yesterday at the busy coffee shop, was started in my larger accordion book (left side). And then with 2 postcards, I added a little more of the scene to the right.

This #urbansketching is from a few days ago at the good local coffee shop. Very busy on a weekend. The pose of the man at far right amuses me, not sure the drawing is clear, though.

This #urbansketching from last night&#39;s twice-monthly sketch group. Was themed Rebel Girls. Probably some IP the kids know. The event was fun with loud music.

THis is today&#39;s supply of my #urbansketching at mega-coffee. The drawing on the envelope on left lacks the color of the real experience. The sitter&#39;s mohawk is a bright fuchsia.

This is #urbansketching from a moment ago at the usual mega-coffee place. It's a small thrill when newcomers drop in and it's more than the usual suspects.

These are some daily sketches from yesterday. To me: #urbansketching, although the international body of urbansketching may disagree. #inkaugust

I went to the cool people&#39;s coffee shop this morning. Sort of a far walk, so I drew these #urbansketching while weak and shaky and at a distance. So, thus-- looser than yesterday&#39;s. ←Excuses

Here&#39;s just one #urbansketching today. This from minutes ago, another artist (on iPad). When people are doing art they are easier to sketch because their attention is not scattered.
