So ... as far as I can tell I might be sketching from out of town for this one (I have a trip scheduled to Santa Fe on that weekend)
.... nevertheless it's time to start throwing ideas around !
Whereabout would you like to spend this first SketchCrawl of the new year ?

what no replies yet? ;)

At the risk of being crass, since it's St Patrick's day, perhaps a pub/sketch crawl is in order? Maybe around Filmore or North Beach? We do have some architecturally significant pubs floating about, along with some stunningly garish storefronts :)

Hi,
Great weather in Berkeley on Sat. Had a good time.
Here are my results:

A Spanish style church on... I don't even remember the name of the street.

Watching the Cal Bears baseball team warm up.

Image
The ferocious bony T-Rex.

Does anyone know the proper name of these knobby trees that are up by the clock tower?

Great sketches and detailed studies dOtto! The knobbly trees are I think London plane trees. They get freakier yet at a certain time of the year when they grow antennas and spikes!

To the SF Chapter...thanks for letting the Berkeley/East Bay group borrow your people. They'll be returned back, in time for the next Crawl. :wink:

Yup - Plane trees. Very "Edward Scissorhands" when they start sprouting branches!

I posted some drawings from when me and my two friends Hanna and Salem went on our own sketchcrawl last Saturday. Fueled solely by alcohol and indian cuisine, we had a great time and saw a lot of drunk college students in north beach. And yet, I drew none of them...or did I?
