Momentos cotidianos a través del iPad
By Gabi Campanario in Seattle Evening commute The lady in front of me was tapping the screen of her smartphone, just like every other commuter aboard my evening bus. I don’t think I would have paid much attention to what she was doing if it wasn’t for the striped purple-and-black fingerless gloves she was wearing. […]
Bocetos de iPad del suroeste de España
Por Gabi Campanario en Montemolín, España Un reciente post de Leslie Akchurin sobre unos preciosos bocetos de Turquía para iPad me ha inspirado para compartir aquí algunas de mis propias obras de arte digitales. Hice estos bocetos hace un par de semanas mientras visitaba a mi familia en España. Muestran las ruinas de un castillo de 900 años de antigüedad en Montemolín, una [...]
#USkSingapur2015: Un supersimposio en el país de los superárboles
Por Gabi Campanario en Singapur Como dicta la tradición del Simposio, el evento ha llegado hoy a su fin con un multitudinario sketchwalk al que han asistido cientos de dibujantes. Este año estaban representadas treinta y seis nacionalidades, por lo que puede decirse con seguridad que la reunión final fue la congregación más diversa de personas dibujando simultáneamente en la calle [...].
#USkSingapur2015: Simposio Noche y Día
By Gabi Campanario in Singapore In her workshop, Los Angeles artist and teacher Virginia Hein said finding the harmony of light and dark, a Japanese design concept known as “Notan,” is key to make a successful sketch.

El placer de dibujar
Every Tuesday and Thursday for the past year, after dropping my son at school for early music practice, my daughter and I had some time to kill before the start of the regular classes an hour later. Sometimes we would go to Panera Bread. Other times we chose Starbucks. You’d think this would be a […]
Dibujo entre gallinas
By Gabi Campanario in Seattle Bothell Country Village is a quirky outdoor mall in the Seattle suburbs where you can easily get lost wandering from store to store, especially if you like to browse antiques and handmade arts and crafts. You can get lost sketching, too! During a recent meetup of the Seattle Urban Sketchers […]
Flashback a Paraty
By Gabi Campanario in Paraty, Brazil That “Five Day Art Challenge” going around on Facebook gave me the push I needed to scan and share the last of my Paraty Symposium sketches. I can’t quite remember what musings I wrote next to the drawings. Hopefully nothing too embarrasing!
Back to my old stomping grounds in SoCal

Southern California, or […]
Los veteranos entre nosotros
By Gabi Campanario in Seattle, USA “Breaking news: there are Veterans among us!” When my friend Sean posted that on Facebook this morning, I was immediately reminded that every November 11 in the U.S. is Veterans Day. The holiday honors people who have served in the armed forces, and is not to be mistaken with […]
Impresión rápida de São Paulo
By Gabi Campanario in São Paulo, Brazil Unlike in Rio, where I documented my 35-hour stay over three sketchbook spreads, in São Paulo I only managed to fill one over a similar window of time —I landed Monday night and left Wednesday morning. The city doesn’t come with the sweeping panoramas and colorful beaches of its […]
