I like to draw architecture but I am more attracted to urban scenery, portraying how people live in the city. Drawing is for me a way to learn to love a place, to become part of it. I like to discover the cities where I live, to understand why a place is the way it is and what makes it different and unique from others. In the last 10 years I have the feeling of being in a long journey. It was a wonderful experience that opened my eyes to a new world. I spent a whole day selecting the most interesting drawings.

He brought a huge box full of sketchbooks he had filled since he was an architecture student. When he retired, I helped to organize an exhibition of his sketches. I had a teacher there who used to do a lot of sketches when he travelled on university excursions. I moved to Kassel (Germany) in 1999 to accomplish a master degree.ДЄlthough I have always drawn and paint, it was not until I started studying in the Uni-Kassel, that I started keeping a travel sketchbook. 'I was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where I studied architecture. See more of her sketches on her blog, on Flickr and on Instagram. Tina has been editor of Drawing Attention since 2013 and now serves on the Urban Sketchers editorial board. My sketches are not necessarily about вЂњspecialвЂќ moments they are moments made special because I sketched them.' Urban sketching is a string band performing at a local farmersвЂ™ market вЂ“ or perhaps in Villefranche-sur-Mer.Д¬elebrating the mundane as well as the famous is what urban sketching is all about. Or the Tibetan monastery I drive by frequently that I couldnвЂ™t resist because itвЂ™s bright orange. ItвЂ™s about an excavator filling a hole where a cherry tree once stood. ItвЂ™s about a couple of women chatting over coffee, or about workers roofing the house next door. Urban sketching is a tree with its middle chopped away to accommodate SeattleвЂ™s ubiquitous power lines. But although I canвЂ™t resist sketching world-famous icons whenever IвЂ™m fortunate enough to see them, for me, urban sketching is much more than that. Sketching one of the worldвЂ™s most famous icons felt like a dream come true вЂ“ the ultimate in urban sketching. In May, my husband Greg and I went to France for the first time, and I sketched the Eiffel Tower. Even when I stay home and enjoy sketches online, I am still a part of that rich network, learning with every sketch about other peopleвЂ™s lives. I sketch almost weekly with my local group, sharing sketches, art supplies and friendship. I have met and sketched with many wonderful people around the globe, either at symposiums or during other travel, because the USk network brought us together. In the last four years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Urban Sketchers has changed my life. Part 8 of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto, to вЂњshow the world, one drawing at a time,вЂќ has a flip side: Sketching enables me to see my own world, one drawing at a time. I wanted to learn to see, and therefore experience, those locations (and any new ones that I travel to) more completely. His drawings of Seattle вЂ“ my birthplace and lifelong home вЂ“ were of sights that I had seen many times, yet had never truly seen. In 2011, inspired by Gabi CampanarioвЂ™s Seattle Sketcher column, I finally decided to overcome the fear. I think of it more as a way of life вЂ“ something that has become such a normal part of my everydayness that it shapes how I view the world.ДЇor most of my life I had both the fear of drawing as well as the desire to draw. 'The dictionary says that a hobby is вЂњan activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation.вЂќ Although urban sketching certainly provides both pleasure and relaxation, I donвЂ™t think of it as my hobby.
