About

歡迎!歡迎進入(速寫香港) 香港城市速寫人群組!這是分享香港速寫的地方。歡迎世界各地朋友參與,但希望所有作品都與香港或群組內的討論有關。亦希望各成員可利用這群組連系其他速寫人,一起繪畫香港! 

我們鼓勵香港組員畫出在生活,和外遊到訪的地方;把城市,咖啡店,公園,街角等等…用筆畫下來。

請確保作品是在城市速寫人宣言的精神下進行,並滿足以下基本條件:
- 我們要繪畫當下,由直接觀察捕捉所看到的,而不是臨摹照片或憑空想象。
- 把繪畫位置(城市,國家)等主題是記錄在標題中。
- 群組不鼓勵繪畫靜態模特兒。

城市速寫人宣言:

1- 我們在室內或室外素描繪畫,捕捉我們當下觀察到的事物。
2- 我們的圖畫訴說周圍的環境和我們所居住及旅遊過的地方。
3- 我們的圖畫記錄當下所處的時間和地點。
4- 我們如實的記錄我們所看到的景象。
5- 我們使用任何一種繪畫媒介和尊重個人的風格。
6- 我們相互支持和鼓勵群體繪畫。
7- 我們在網上分享我們的作品。
8- 我們向全世界展示一時一事一畫。

繪畫人像:
我們一直廣泛討論應怎樣看待繪畫人像畫的問題。
而總結是只要不是繪畫靜態模特兒或人體素描課便沒問題,
就如Walt Stanchfield所說: 我們只畫動詞,不畫名詞
這意味著繪畫人們正在做事情,而不只是畫鼻子,臉,手和腳。
請記住,只有相關的帖子接受在上載這群組!無關的帖子會被管理員刪除。

平板電腦 / 電子繪畫:
只要它是當下繪畫、不是以照片作底描繪及使用空白屏幕繪製,我們歡迎iPad/平板電腦或任何電子方法繪制的畫。

我們將刪除不符合標準的畫,恕不另行通知.

Dear fellow Urbansketchers,

Welcome to Urban Sketchers Hong Kong! 
This is a place to share our urban sketches related to Hong Kong. We welcome international members to be part of the group but request that all posts be related in some way to Hong Kong or discussions within the group. Happy for members to use this group to connect with other sketchers and to promote “Sketching Hong Kong Together!”

The group is for urban sketchers BASED IN HONG KONG who draw the cities they live in and visiting on tour— from the window of their homes, in a cafe, at a park, standing by a street corner or wherever — on location always and definitely 'live'.

GUIDELINE:
Before sharing drawings, ensure they are done in the spirit of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto and meet these basic criteria:

Our Manifesto:

•We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
•Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
•Our drawings are a record of time and place.
•We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
•We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
•We support each other and draw together.
•We share our drawings online.
•We show the world, one drawing at a time.

We also encourage members to write descriptions and stories associated with each sketch. 

DRAWING PEOPLE
The only real rules are no models or life drawing sessions.
But we would encourage you to (using a quote from Walt Stanchfield here)

DRAW VERBS, not NOUNS:
That means draw people doing stuff in context and not just noses, faces, hands and feet. Or people that are posed or without an urban context. Posed people includes self-portraits, too. 

Please be reminded that only relevant posts are accepted in this group! Irrelevant posts which has nothing to do with sketching will be removed by the admins. 

TABLET DRAWINGS:
We welcome ipad/ tablets or any digital drawings, as long as it is drawn on-location & drawn using a blank screen. Drawing over photographs or tracing images are strictly not allowed.

Non compliance drawings will be removed without further notice.
