Be that with a group in your area or go solo to explore. As you can see by checking out the forum there will be people drawing from all over the world. And if you look at forums from the previous Sketchcrawls you will see that many people are at different skill levels and that there are a lot of kind and supportive participants.

So don’t be afraid! Come out, make some new friends, and have fun. This is an open invite to ANYONE interested, artistic or not. Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring some paper. :]
