Sketching the City

KL Sketch Nation is a collective that promotes urban sketching as an accessible entry point to the art scene. We speak to its founder, Ahmad Hakym Ahmad Helmy about how he juggles between his love for urban sketching and his academic ambition, his plans to continue promoting the activity to more urbanites during this endemic phase, as well as his personal thoughts on the city and why he was so inspired by it.
