You squiggle flowers while on the phone, you draw your dog while hanging on the couch, and asking all of your friends to sit for portraits?
You've got a collection of fifty, maybe sixty different masterpieces around the house.
You love to draw, and that's a fact, and even if you don't have designs on attending art school, or that wasn't your area of study, spending a Sunday jumping into a host of sketch-tastic drawing projects with hundreds of other Southern Californians sounds like just the scratch your inspiration itch has needed.
Look, then, to Make Your Mark in the Park, a free day that's part of The Big Draw LA, a month-long "public celebration of drawing" from Ryman Arts.
Make Your Mark in the Park is a centerpiece of The Big Draw LA, and it is free to attend, so worry not about an admission fee as you stroll by a host of booths devoted to different drawing exercises and activities.
The booths at the Sunday, Oct. 8 grab-a-pencil gathering include Drawing Costumed Models, Paper Airplanes, Bicycle Decoration, Tape Drawing, and Urban Landscape Drawing.
To further enhance the festive air, and put a few more fancies in your head — head fancies are always good jump-starters before you start to sketch — food trucks'll be out, with an array of noshable for purchase, and tunes played live'll up the flow.
