USK Manifesto
1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.

Love this. His expression, and the detail packed into the double page spread. Like a snippet of a graphic novel.
Terrific Lynn!
Wonderful to see your drawing 'in situ'. As usual, excellent capture of your fellow travelers.
Brilliant drawing / fascinating photo. The 3d guy looks a little less angry than the 2d i think.
I got told off for doing a similar photo the next day. Interestingly, not by the person I was drawing / photographing, but by a complete stranger. She said I should ask the man's permission if I was posting his photo on the net (perhaps a good point?). Then she said I should delete the photo I had taken from my phone (slight over-reaction?). Then the woman opposite her (another random stranger) said I should not be drawing people at all. I so rarely get a negative reaction like this (just 3 times in all the years) and get so many positive reactions, I am comfortable about the drawing people part (and asking permission to draw people would destroy it - the attention I would draw to myself would make it impossible). Interestingly, most sketchers who post sketchbook photos with the subject are drawing mainly buildings. I don't think it's such a good idea on reflection, so won't take photos again, even though the faces are often too out of focus to really be recognisable.
