Gr8 sketches

All of the above and more! Have you ever had anybody taking offence at being sketched or do they never realise what you are doing?

However in those 3-4 years I have made numerous number of friends, exchanged contacts, scanned the sketches to those I sketched, some ended up putting them as their face book cover images, have told me they have used it to remember the trip. While countless others have just been awe struck by the sheer artistic exercise and have also been given the opportunity to know more about why we sketch and how it helps with our art.

That is the beauty of doing it right there and then, you've got little time to think, so you are bound to make quick decisions which result in sketches that are lively and direct!
