Awesome! Where would you be joining us from? I figured we would see where everyone was located geographically and pick a good central location then wander around sketching from there. Suggestions: Cave Creek (slightly cooler, some tourists and great buildings), Downtown Phoenix (may be more central...

Someone recently sent me this link in jest but they look quite fetching: http://www.poopoopaper.com/Pootique.htm

Anyone at all in the greater Phoenix area?

... Arizona... August... it'll be fun, right?

Gladly!

..and thanks for organizing sketchcrawl - so much talent and inspiration here!

…if for no other reason other than how prolific he was! There are scans of 300 of his sketchbooks totaling 30,000 sketches and watercolors from his travels. There are even scans of the covers of the books themselves which are wildly varying and beautiful. Each one is completely different. If I...

Ok, my first sketch post here. It has been (cough) almost twenty years since I sketched everyday and I am finally back to it and am having the time of my life. I wish this forum was around when I was in school. I missed crawl14 as we just had a baby girl but I can't wait for the next one! I took our...

Indeed - thanks for the responses. I have played around quite a bit with scanning settings and can improve the colors, etc if I am willing to spend the time (which makes photoshopping easier). When all is said and done my results are still pretty disappointing. Looking at a sketch next to the scan i...

Sorry to ask more of a technical than material question but what successes and failures has everone had with scanning sketches and watercolors? I have a mess of various scanners and cameras here and have had no luck in capturing anything flattering (and my sketches need all the digital flattery they...

Donna- I'll have to try to make it down your way from Phoenix for one of the next ones! Might try a short crawl with my daughter up this way if I can talk her into it. Great sketches!
