Hi Hive account@enternamehere - thanks for your comments, brilliant to meet another "urban sketcher" where do you like sketching?

Pencil allows you to think too much and, as you said, have a "safety net". If you know you cant rub it out you're going to improve quicker is my theory! It's also great to look back at your older work and see the improvement.

Thanks again for your post, will follow you with interest!

All the best!
