Sketch Crawl: The Art of Drawing Together 30 Jun 2025 • 1 min read

How group sketching events inspire creativity and skill-sharing.

A sketch crawl is exactly what it sounds like — a group of artists moving from place to place, sketching scenes as they go. The Urban Sketch Collective hosts them monthly, picking neighbourhoods full of character and variety.

There’s a magic to sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with other artists, comparing notes, swapping tools, and seeing how differently each person interprets the same scene. New members often say the first crawl is what hooked them on urban sketching for good.

Whether you stay for one stop or the whole route, you’ll walk away with a sketchbook full of memories and a few new friends.
