Sketch number 2, is part of my apartment building. I had a lot of fun with all 10 of the urban sketches, and this one’s added bonus magical element is the spirit person watering their plants and the name plate on the wall.

I did 10 sketches as part of the sketchbook I had to turn in as art college homework. I really enjoyed doing these urban sketches. At first I was really bummed with the idea, as drawing inanimate things, like buildings and such is not something I particularly enjoy. So I found a way to make it fun; stylize it in a way I’d like it and add something fun to it, something magical and mysterious that wasn’t there in real life. This way, I ended up seriously enjoying these urban sketches.
Because I procrastinated for so long, I had to do in like 5 days, 20 drawings for the sketchbook. I still tried to ignore the pressure and stress I felt and enjoy it, and I succeeded. It was honestly my favorite part of the semester, getting to finally stretch my creative muscles. By ignoring the pressure, and actually having fun with exploring new styles and ways to make my art look different, I managed to breeze through the sketchbook in time.
I’m really proud of those 20 I made, even these set of urban sketches that I really didn’t want to do at the beginning and wasn’t looking forward to. But I’m happy with what I created. Really happy.
Thinking they’d look great as short animations and prints. I’m totally doing that.
