[By Ken Avidor in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA]
Every year, the Twin Cities Urban Sketchers gather at
the Minnesota State Fair for a sketch-out. This year, I went to the State Fair on two additional days. I like sketching people and there's no better place to sketch people doing lots of different stuff than the State Fair. I also like to sketch animals.
I wanted to work big and quickly, so I mostly used a series 400 11X14 inch Strathmore toned paper pad. I also did a few sketches in my smaller, toned paper journal. I use a Pigma Graphic 1 pen and color with mostly Prismacolor pencils.
Here's some of my sketches:

One of the entrances to the Fair. |

I like sketching the Sham-Wow guys |
 |
A military vehicle attracted lots of people |
 |
A Woody Guthrie concert. I got autographs |
 |
A cow. |

More cows. |
 |
More fairgoers. |

Piglets |
