USKSG Jan 2026 sketchwalk at Chinatown! 🐴
It’s been such a long time since I last joined a sketchwalk. I was so happy to see everyone again and I really missed the vibes 🥹
This year, I decided to try something a little different — capturing small thumbnail sketches of the Chinese New Year atmosphere around Chinatown. I did some planning at home the day before, just to make sure my mind wouldn’t go blank when I arrived. I also timed everything carefully, knowing that I’m a slow sketcher 😅
I started sketching around 8am and wrapped up at about 12 noon. The sketches captured scenes from the wet market, shops selling CNY decorations, a store with adorable horse plushie keychains, the front view of 珍珠坊, a pasar malam selling cookies, and finally the horse decoration opposite Chinatown Point where the show-and-tell took place.
It was incredibly fulfilling to complete 6 sketches within 4 hours. ✨
