I’m Rob, and I‘ve been an iPad urban sketcher since 2014
Digital urban sketching has taken me around the world, teaching workshops at many global sketching festivals, including 7 official Urban Sketcher Symposiums and taught students from age 6 to 86.
I also ran some of the first in-store iPad sketching workshops for the public at Apple‘s flagship stores in San Francisco, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Apple, Procreate, Bloomberg, EY, KPMG, the W Hotel, Shangri-La Hotels, HSBC, BMW and Fendi are some of the clients who have commissioned me to work with them.
I have also trained art teachers to use iPads for visual storytelling at top international schools in Hong Kong, and for many years as a guest instructor at the Singapore Teachers’ Academy for the Arts under the Ministry of Education, SIngapore, I have showed several cohorts various ways to integrate iPad urban sketching and visual storytelling into the nation’s classrooms.
Now join me in my FREE course, where I take you through the basics and essentials of Procreate over 7 lessons.
