This month I have been up in Portland a lot and thought it would be a good time to share some suggestions on planning a day out on the town. I like to be spontaneous and follow my intuition when I am out drawing for a day, but it is important to remember that this spontaneity does require a foundation of good prep work. This ranges from having a well-prepared go bag, to finding interesting spots, adapting to conditions, and finding a drawing friend. Along the way you might run into something or someone unexpected.
