The weather forecast of high winds & rain plus the early
start of Rugby World Cup final meant I was expecting a low turnout for the
November sketchcrawl at the British Library. But I was pleasantly surprised at
the numbers of people who came along, including sketchers from the West
Country, Midlands, Manchester and even Melbourne, Australia. Richard Aitken
joined us as part of a European trip and produced this stunning ‘urban collage’
yesterday.
Thank you to Sangeeta for organising the event and being
such a useful source of information on the day. A brief selection of some of
the drawings made below. Do check out the
USk London Facebook page for more.
