Sketching Calton Hill with Edinburgh Sketcher

Edinburgh Sketcher is part of the fabric of the city. He captures the everyday moments, events and views that represent Edinburgh life. I met him on Calton Hill and watched as he created a journal sketch of our conversation and the views we were enjoying while talking. He gave a great insight into how he thinks through a drawing and talks about career change and gives brilliant top tips for capturing every day events on paper.
