    Nic Steenhout on learning urban sketching
    Sep 14 2026
    Nic Steenhout uses this solo episode to push back on standard urban sketching advice: draw from life, use ink, skip photos. He argues that advice assumes a non-disabled body and a brain that can tune out a busy street. Speaking from his own experience as a disabled sketcher, he separates scaffolding (photos, pencils, things you use while learning and can drop later) from accommodation (wheelchair access, noise control, things that don't go away once you've improved).

    Róisín Curé talks about finally calling herself a comics creator after years of resisting labels, and about her new monthly comic Wild Atlantic Ink. The conversation moves through drawing from life versus photos, what years of sketching built in her hands, and the calm that sketching brings to a mind that has long carried melancholy.
