A few months ago I wrote a post about some artwork I did inspired by a book: Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: 52 Creative Exercises to Make Drawing Fun, by Carla Sonheim. (Look here for that post.) I’ve done some recent work inspired by the same subject – the cracks in the sidewalks under my feet. Now I’m doing a small series of posts to show you the results. Search this blog under the term “sidewalk art” to find earlier posts.
My method is to take one photo and rotate it through a circle – that way I can do four drawings from one photo. Here is the source photo for the drawings done on 8/29/19:
and here are the drawings.

you make it look so simple! it is brilliant
Thank you. I enjoy doing these. There are no expectations, just whatever the sidewalk tells me and I try to follow along. I find them relaxing to do and sort of contemplative. And…there are plenty of sidewalks asking for some attention, drawing-wise, aren’t there?!
Another fantastic collection. You find such imaginative ways to work with the composition the cracks impose on you.
Thank you. I find this a really pleasant sketch idea – I especially like the idea that I can rotate the photo and see 4 different things.
