Illustrators Sketch Night

IN-PERSON SKETCH NIGHTS Group for: Illustrators (writers are also welcome!)Time: 2nd Tuesday of every month from 6:30-9:30Location: Central Market Cafe NorthContact: Michelle Lambing (michellelambing@yahoo.com),  <a href="mailto:austin-ic@scbwi.org?subject=Second%20Tuesday%20Sketch%20Night%20Question">Tiffany Shih</a>, Austin Chapter IC with subject line: "SCBWI Sketch Nights".Add to Calendar: 📅 <a href="http://tiny.cc/3yud001">http://tiny.cc/3yud001</a> Austin Illustrator's Sketch Night is every 2nd Tuesday of the every month (with the possible exception for December since most people are busy with holiday plans that month. Check in with the Illustrator Coordinator to see if December Sketch Night is still on if you are unsure.)This casual fun evening is designed for illustrators (or writers who like to draw!), featuring conversation about illustration in the kid lit industry and building community within the Austin SCBWI chapter. If you are new to the chapter, this is the BEST way to meet your fellow illustrators! There's typically about 5 - 10 people that attend regularly. We will be in the outdoor table area unless otherwise noted. As this is a big space I'll have a sign indicating our group. Central Market has nice sturdy tables, a full menu, or non-alcoholic or alcoholic drinks, or you can pick something up in the store if you'd like. It's a lovely fun space and look forward to drawing with you! Please reach out to <a href="mailto:austin-ic@scbwi.org?subject=Second%20Tuesday%20Sketch%20Night%20Question">Tiffany Shih</a>, chapter illustrator coordinator, with any questions. Details:<ul><li>This event is usually exclusive to chapter members, but if you have an interested friend who's curious about SCBWI or kids book illustration, please invite them! We ask they join the chapter to keep attending. They should because our chapter is awesome!</li><li>Bring whatever materials you like to work in! You'll see a lot of sketchbooks, pens, pencils, and ipads - makes us easy to find. </li><li>Please plan to buy at least one item from Central Market to support being in the space</li></ul> ______________________________________________________ DISCORD SKETCH NIGHTS Group for: Illustrators (writers are also welcome!)Time: TBD - This currently varies month to month depending on our IC's schedule.
