Thank you to everyone who took part in #walktoseepeople last month, I think it is the most popular one yet! I LOVED seeing all your drawings of people.
I enjoyed these by Lemady_Art , Laura’s Creative Chaos , Studio__su and Sheena Davies.
#walktoseetinysketchbook
Get out your teeny tiny sketchbook (personally, I am scared of anything below A5 but I will give it a go!)
There’s only one rule: It must be drawn from life on location. I am strict about it. You know I have a direct line to the art police, just saying... 👀
Joining in with #walktosee is a great way to discover fellow sketchbookers - and grow your audience.
Join in as often as you fancy: every day, or just once!
Take a photo of your drawing and post it on instagram
Use the hashtags #walktoseetinysketchbook and #walktosee
Tag me so I defo see it
By the way, I started an #walktosee tiny sketchbook ‘Add Yours’ on my Insta stories, so you can join in there too.
See you there!
Speaking of drawing from life, if you missed our Good Ship Illustration Art Club on Friday, you can catch up on our feed now.
I started the hashtag #walktosee a few years back to celebrate drawings made from life on our daily walks. Over time I broadened it out to include any observational drawing — no walking necessary 😂.
It has a mind blowing 122K contributions so far!
What I like best about #walktosee is that people draw the more domestic and private bits of their lives: their dogs, their holidays, the view from their bedroom window, their commute to work and the grocery shopping.
After Instagram changed the algorithm and stopped showing us the drawings in date order I decided to start the new #walktosee monthly drawing prompt. That way we can see what people are up to this month.

My pal Tania Willis had a great idea. She said I could start a Google map where we all pin our favourite places to draw. What do you think? Shall we make that happen?
Comment below to let me know.
