Sketchbook: V&A Sculpture Room

Sketchbook: V&A Sculpture Room

From Sketchbook London
4.9

Lets sketch in the sculpture room at the V&A South Kensington I love this set of rooms, there's tonnes of amazing sculptures here. Sculptures act as such effective life drawing models cus they don't move! If anyone wishes to sketch any other part of the museum they are of course welcome to. We will meet outside the main entrance on Cromwell Road at 11am, I'll wait for about 15 minutes and then we will head in to the sculpture room together. Afterwards we can then meet back there at 1pm and maybe sit in the courtyard and compare drawings! Nearest Tube Stop: South Kensington What Three Words: ///shorts.cards.legs Completely free of charge, no need to sign up, bring a friend. Feel free to drop in for the whole two hours or just short while if you'd prefer. Look for the tall ginger fella with a sketchbook as an indicator of the meetup spot, but feel free to roam as far and wide as you like and sketch anything you damn well please! Please bring your own sketchbooks and pens/pencils. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- About Sketchbook London Every week we will choose a location around the magnificent city of London and draw people, buildings, pigeons, bins, anything you want.... No payment, no pressure, no need to sign up, just show up and draw for a couple of hours. All levels, abilities and professions welcome, bring a friend! Zero pressure to interact, network, impress in any way, this is just a way to get out and about and appreciate the joy of urban sketching and all the weird and wonderful creatures that inhabit this thriving metropolis. I am a storyboard artist working in animation and I am happy to discuss sketching techniques or give feedback on any work but this is by no means an exclusive event for artists, all are welcome :) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ## Sketchbook London Meetup Code of Conduct **Everyone is welcome.** We aim to provide a friendly, inclusive and respectful space to sketch, learn and meet others.

Come and hang out in-person, drop off you stock for us to take to Thought Bubble and for contributors to pick up their copies of the new WIP anthology. It's also a chance to hang out in person, show each other your work, get a coffee and some lunch, and generally chat about making comics. For more details about our Thought Bubble plans and how many comics to take, please check our Discord channel. We'll be in or around the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, but the exact location of where we're sat will depend on space and availability on the day.
