About the ArtistHello, my name is Hailey and I'm from Buffalo, NY. I'm a senior at Niagara and my major is Sports management. I love cheerleading, watching sports, reading, dancing and trying out new hobbies. When it comes to me as an artist, i believe that i have a lot of work to do revolving a style like urban sketching. I love drawing characters or action figures so drawing things that were around me was very new. I love to challenge myself when it comes to learning new things so urban sketching is something that caught my attention

Reflections on Urban SketchingI've learned how to be patient with my drawings. Taking your time and not getting worked up over mistakes gives you enough time to think about simple things you may be able to do to improve the drawing or fix a mistake. I have developed new skills that will help me in further drawings, and to be specific, Hatching is something i enjoyed learning about. When it comes to how i feel about urban sketching as a whole, i think it is something that I still would have to fully get comfortable doing. I think overall that this course was a good challenge and was something fun to do on the side, i wish I had more time this semester to put towards
some of the work that i have done as well. |
Sketching on Location |
Kitchen Space
This was one of my earlier drawings. I wanted to challenge myself by giving myself lots of different shapes to work with in one area. I'm not a big outdoors person so sitting in my kitchen is something i tend to do a lot, it was also a good place for me to start comfortably. Other than that, this is where me and my roommates cook meals and enjoy each others' company for the most part. We like to stick fun little things to the fridge here and there and also decorate once in a while (noticing the thing hanging next to the door). This is just a place that we all see everyday
Bedroom
This is usually where i get ready every day and also the view from my be. I wake up and basically plan my outfits and what i want to wear that day. This is also where i dump alot of random items when i come from class, like my water bottle or my bookbag. I thought it would be cool to play around with a couple differenttextures with pen.
Hallway
I felt like this one corner tells so much about the daily lives of our apartment. This white board for starters was given as a gift to the home from one of our roommates. We came together to write out our schedules so we can understand each other's days better and to keep us all on a good track. We've also been trying to include our friends into our apartment by taking a photo of everyone who visits
Urban Sketching Kit
I chose to send a photo of these pens from my kit because they are my absolute favorite. They may not be a go to for other people but for me its quick, affordable, easy to use, and easy to get. I would like to work with some other paints other than water color, i would have added them but i do not own any.
I love using pen. If i could use only pen in every drawing that i have done i would. It gives me confidence, its very affordable, and to me very simple to use. The only problems i run in to is shading.
