My name is Carl Lavia, I go by the nickname ‘Sketch’ and together with my creative partner photographer Lorna Le Bredonchel, we are attempting an epic project – Sketching large-scale every single city within the UK. Yes, all 69!
I have just completed the city of Edinburgh and it’s displayed at the Edinburgh Central Library. I use a mix of technical and BIC pens on archival paper. The Edinburgh cityscape took 2 months to create, but each city is unique.

Share on FacebookI once tried drawing a plane view of Blackwood (Wales). Small scale and much simplified. And it still took me a good while, and it was not easy. What I'm saying is, I know from experience that what this man's doing is amazing. Congratulations! *clap clap*
Wow! I live in Edinburgh (though it doesn't look like your sketch extends down quite as far as my actual house). Do you know how long it will be on display at the Library for? I'd love to go see it.
It has only just gone on display, it will be there for 12 months, do follow us online for the sketch will move to a new location after this and we can let you know where/when https://twitter.com/Sketchnthecity
