Arab Street: Sketchwalk

I went sketching with the Urban Sketchers, Singapore. These are a few sketches from that morning! As we sat on the roads in the morning, we saw the rubbish/puke/alcohol bottles from last night being cleared. Having never been to Arab this early in the morning I discovered a whole new place!


These shop houses are interesting to sketch because they are juxtaposed against the grossly commercial and concrete skyline of Singapore. Arab Street has its own identity because of these dilapidated, close to dingy looking buildings. The only place in Singapore where I actually found pigeons pooping as they fly!


This is a 15 minute impressionistic sketch of the Mosque at Arab Street! Funny how I had never noticed it in my countless night time adventures there!


This is a failed attempt at trying to draw pigeons while they were eating, it is so hard to draw moving birds, another thing on my bucket list for the summer!


As we sat down for the show and tell, I saw this fat (well not really fat) lady and tried a new carricature-illustration style! This is a 3-5 minute sketch!
