Interesting building (former church maybe?) on Parkhill Road, near the Dingle Tower. Sketched on site last week and painted today 🙂

Chatted with my colleague all the way till my station today so no sketch... Instead I'll share another vacation backlog.

This was done at the same Utrecht mall. I sketched this lady who was sitting there, as if she was posing for me.

Day trip to Utrecht to get Miffy goods because my sister is a big fan. There was a huge mall beside the station, the Hoog Catharijne and I sketched there while the fam did some clothes shopping.

Today's train sketch. I wish I didn't cover the end of the hair with the blue... Oh wells. You sketch and you learn.

Vacation urban sketching backlog posting, this time from Amsterdam:

Another sketch while waiting for food! Got most of the line work in before the dutch pancakes arrived... And finished up with the coloring after we finished the pancakes.

Started sketching late so just two quick stops to go before reaching my stop... I ended up with a full page spread but no time to color. Added color at home while watching youtube.

I did this quick sketch at a restaurant in Brussels. Was forced to stop when the food came, and I finished up in the airbnb afterwards. The mussels were absolutely amazing!

A long hiatus in the last year where I wasn’t able to draw a paint much while I took care of “things”. It’s probably the first time in my life I didn’t have a pencil or paintbrush in my hand for so long. Felt very weird. #watercolorandink #usk #urbansketching #stillmanandbirn #pleinairpaintng

I'm losing track of what I've posted and not posted... Did this by a Starbucks in Paris!

We stayed in a *massive* airbnb in Brussels. Sadly only for two nights... But at least I got to paint the exterior of the house from the private patio!

The #EUKidsAct is intended to strengthen #youthprotection not only on social media, video platforms, and AI chatbots, but also in #videogames. What the games industry could face—and how it views the proposal. background.tagesspiegel.de/digitalisier... #EU #USK #PEGI @videogameseurope.bsky.social

So I'm making a game about managing a ship crew in the 70s, inspired by Jacques Cousteau. Of course there should be smoking, but I wonder how that will impact the age rating of my game. Is it still a problem if it's that pixelated / low res? Anyone with opinions or info on this? #usk #pixelart

‘The mudflats looked gooey and the gulls were at it: the Usk a ver-ry different river to the sparkling cutie-pie inland’.

Eh? Football? Well yeh!

A digital sketch I did at h&m while waiting for my mum to buy a new pair of jeans. The other pair she brought too tight. My legs and back was aching badly from all the walking, plus my heavy sling bag... It was rough #digitalart #digital #booxtablet #usk #usksg #urbansketch #themessyurbansketch
