Madrid, Spain - [RESULTS]

[spanishben]

In the end there were just two of us, and we had a fantastic time - we covered a good portion of the center of Madrid!

Al final eramos dos, y lo pasamos fenomenal - recurrimos un buen trozo del centro de Madrid!

Here is my fellow sketch-crawler Marcos sketching in the park:



And here are my sketches from the day. We started off with this great view across the Calle Segovia:



Then wandered up to Calle del Rollo in Madrid's old 'Austrias' center:



Then sat in the sun in the square outside the Reina Sofia museum after lunch:



Before wandering up to the park, starting with a coffee by the Fallen Angel statue...



Then watching the boating lake watchers:



...and this fine bronze lady also overlooking the boaters...



A fantastic day's sketching! Marcos's sketches coming soon...

I just love the way you captured those two ladies in the sun at the shoreline. Very nice, well done!

spanishben - I love your distinct characteristic line works a lot The last one is my favorite.
4ojos - It is always a pleasure to see your works! I enjoy the way how you capture things using less colors and lines and produce great effect

[spanishben]

4ojos - I love the blue and orange lines!
Uskesu, Mr Dewhurst, Lapin and Kumi - Thanks!

Hola,

Ben, 4ojos, están geniales los dibujos!
Os mando los que hice en la salida del sábado, empezando por una foto del Retiro. Como podéis ver nos dimos un buen paseo, de los austrias al retiro. Estuvo muy bien, y nos cundió bastante el día;

[spanishben]

Fantasticos Marcos, mi favoritos es "Leones en el Retiro", salen super-bien los leones!

[gaelwriter]

Nice sketches; loved the dry humor in the captions; and can anything be more eye-arresting than a bold orange and black!

[Sanp]

Hello, it was my first sketchcrawl and I went just with my wife along the 'Parque Lineal del Manzanares'. There was a tennis competition at Caja magica and I spent a while taking this panorama.



However I had been the week before at Retiro , here goes my pre-scrawl sketch!




Santiago

[spanishben]

Great panarama Sanp! Looks like you sat in the same place as us for the Retiro sketch!!

Dos pero... MUUUCHA CALIDAD!!!!!
