Melbourne, Australia [RESULTS]

Post by robobop »

Hey crawlers,

Melbourne was fantastic - late 20s weather, great food, beautiful skies!
So there was 2 of us, and after a coffee we hit random lane ways and drew old buildings. The Australian Open is on, which meant some parts of the city were very crowded but other parts were empty. Lots of textures and shapes.
Anyway it was my first non-solo sketchcrawl so that was a lot of fun and we hope to get more people to get the next one!

Here are my drawings to kick it off:

Hi everyone,

The Melbourne S.crawl was really enjoyable. As Robopop mentions (above), we took to the city laneways, meandering our way through to places which inspired us to draw.
We stopped in L'l Collins for awhile, then found an old Victorian building tucked away in a laneway. Here we just happily sketched away.
We ended the day with a great flavorsome Vietnamese meal...all in all the day was fun and really worthwhile!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Fafi - Love the drawings! It was great fun drawing together, and the Mint Lemon shake added that extra ounce of refreshment on a hot day!

Nori - Surprised to see you were in the Darwin crawl, I thought you were one of us! ;) Darwin looks amazing.
I reckon next SC is the one where we finally do one together.
Also, Fafi and I were talking about doing more regular drawing trips...

Thanks Mary and Dave and Robobop! It'd be great to get some drawing trips going, what do you think about early March? or is that too far way?
and yeah Robobop, those Mint Lemon shakes were really good.
