July sketches

A couple of things from NaSkeDraMo:

Library of Congress sketchcrawl

I left the fancy great hall area of the Library in the afternoon to go get a Library of Congress reader card, and found a really fascinating set of tunnels connecting the different library buildings together (and a surprising number of DANGER DO NOT ENTER signs).

Annapolis

Having never been to the east coast, I took a day trip out to Annapolis a week or so ago. Drawing outside gets harder the colder it gets, but I managed to make these two sketches before I was forced to duck inside.

Meet the sketcher: SILVER SPRINGS, MD > Meredith Nelson

"I'm an illustrator from several places, currently based out of Silver Spring, Maryland. I first got into urban sketching while poking around abandoned buildings in St. Louis, wanting to capture what I found there in a medium more interesting than photos. It became an interest that would take me to abandoned buildings around the world, including the former Soviet Union. I enjoy on-site drawing as a way to connect with the places I live and visit."
