How Do You Sketch 20,000 People

When I planned Urban Sketching at Kawaii Kon, I thought it would be pretty casual. We walk in. Get a comfortable seat on the upper level where there is plenty of seating and sketch away. I was wrong.

Security has been upgraded to TSA screening. And with metal detectors at the front door, the line, or should I say the mob of young people formed endless lines in every direction. It was impossible for us, Urban Sketchers to enter the convention center.

Thank you sketchers who braved the traffic, weather, and crowds to sketch what we could. As Urban Sketchers, we tell a story, a snapshot of today. And that we did proudly!

The questions of the day to ponder was: Why is art important to me? What’s an early event that first interested you in art? We love hearing how art influenced you at such an early age. And how art is critical thinking or stress-relieving. How would you answer those questions?
