About us
This group is for anyone who loves to sketch but finds it hard to make the time for it in their daily life. We started this crew to help each other stay consistent, whether you are picking up a pencil for the first time in years or you are a regular artist looking for a bit of structure. The goal is to provide a quiet, encouraging space where we can work side-by-side, share our progress, and hold one another accountable to our own personal creative goals.
Our meetings are informal and focus on the act of doing the work rather than critiquing the results. We usually spend the first few minutes checking in with each other about what we hope to accomplish during the session, and then we dive into our own sketches for an hour or so. It is less about perfection and more about showing up. If you are looking for a low-pressure environment to keep your creative momentum going, we would love to have you join us.
