Urban Sketchers collaborative Global Sketchbook, Contribute!

←Click on Calendar for events and updates

Urban sketching knows no limits. Your city, your style, your level of experience—whatever makes your urban sketches unique, it’s welcome in our global sketchbook. It is a space to learn, tell stories, and bring sketchers together.

One of our goals is to create a collaborative sketchbook where sketchers from our global community can showcase their world through their unique perspectives.

We invite you to join us in this creative venture. Share your on-location sketches and make them even more colorful with vibrant narratives about your discoveries, observations and thoughts while you were drawing. What’s the story behind it? We are excited to hear all about it.

Go places! Check out everyone else’s wonderful stories and sketches from our Global Sketchbook.
