“I always carry a small sketchbook with me so when I see something I want to capture, I’ll simply draw it. The great thing about sketching is that you learn to appreciate the detail. You notice the smaller things and gain more perspective on the scene or object you’re drawing. It’s a more meaningful way of capturing the moment.”

“KL USk is more than just sketching. You get the public involved and create interactions between people and everyday life. It’s a good way to get to know more people and you definitely explore more and become more observant of a place, noticing things you wouldn’t have otherwise seen.”
