It’s been a long time since my last post. My life has taken some unexpected turns, but my love for sketching remains intact. From now on I intend to post much more regularly, upload more videos to my YouTube channel and much more. I am now living in north Texas, so I’ll be sketching a lot on location as I get to know my new surroundings.
Lately I have been using my iPad a lot for work so I’ve been getting much more comfortable with it, to the point I have been using it a lot for sketching on location. Digital sketching has its challenges, but I’ve gotten to appreciate its numerous advantages.
I can take it anywhere, even to museums where ink or watercolors are not allowed. I can have all the colors that I want. Digital graphite does not smudge and does not need sharpening. I have unlimited pencils, pens, markers, brushes at the top of my finger. And I don’t have to scan afterwards to share online.
For sketching on location I use an app called Tayasui Sketches Pro. Very simple but pretty impressive. The pens, pencils and the watercolor brushes work really good. I have really enjoyed using the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil with this app for sketching on the go. Here are some of my sketches with it.
Sketchfully Yours 
Great! So glad to see your sketches. Sending you and your family all the best. Niki
I literally stumbled onto the Urban Sketching site looking for other Urban Sketchers such as myself. What got my attention is your last name “CHESTER” which is part of my family history. I had a great-great grandfather , Edward Chester, who was a member of the 76th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, ( Zouaves ) who fought in the Civil War where he landed at Hilton Head. The Chester is Philadelphia based. Could be related ?
