Daily Drawing Project: “Draw a map.” (From Day 24 Online Daily Drawing)
What was the last thing you drew before this?
This is a map I drew for a tour at 41st and Fraser. The last thing I drew before this was a set of 'lost' West End houses. I like drawing maps with layers of history and the present day, it connects events in a way no other medium can. And it reveals connections that are not always obvious.
Visit the Online Daily Drawing Project running May 9 – June 8 in the 31 days leading up to Vancouver Draw Down, an annual daylong celebration of drawing on June 9 that offers 27 free drawing workshops at 18 locations around Vancouver.
