What a Crawl !!

It was an overcast day in SF but no rain, of course. Thanks to all of
you for coming out. We had roughly 60 crawlers around the Marina and Fort Mason today. The rest of the world saw around 52 different locations with avid sketchers roaming about! That’s really exciting, no doubt our biggest worldwide crowd of crawlers. Come by the forums and see drawings from all over the globe! Here’s my offerings from the day (dang trees are hard, gotta get better at ‘em).
