We love to know more about our cities, but how much of it can we really recall on a later day? The act of drawing involves not just looking but also observing and absorbing. And making visual notes helps to build that recall. Whilst a blank paper can intimidate, visual notes can simply be doodles that liberate. At our online workshop #SketchingMumbai, illustrator Zainab Tambawalla shows you how to make quick 5/10 minute sketches by simplifying what we see on our virtual tour. If you are one of those people who think they cannot draw at all, this workshop is for you. It does not require any prior experience in art. All it requires is the will to participate without the fear of judgement.
