Welcome to Sketcher ID!

A free badge for anyone who sketches on location

What is it? 

Sketcher ID is a completely free tool that lets you create a personalized badge with your name, country flag, and a QR code. The QR code links to information on public sketching activities and meetup spots during the 14th International Urban Sketchers Symposium in Toulouse, France, from July 15-18, 2026.

While Sketcher ID launches in connection with #USkToulouse2026, the goal is to help sketchers connect wherever they sketch.

Print it, wear it, and use it to easily connect with other sketchers and find them on the map.

Who is it for?

Anyone who enjoys sketching on location.
If you draw on location, you’re part of the Urban Sketchers family.
