From digital to analogue on the streets of Berlin

[Guest post by Detlef Surrey in Berlin]

Being a professional illustrator I have carried out all my professional work digitally since 1991 when I had bought my first computer and Wacom tablet. It is my profession and I like it - I never seemed to miss paper and ink at all. At the end of the working day I switched off my Mac. Finished.

RAW Fleamarket in Friedrichshain

In 2012 I realised that I had in fact lost my passion of drawing - when I found an old sketch book with travel sketches. There it was! I realised, that I missed drawing for myself, just for fun, without a client, without corrections and deadlines. I decided to start sketching again.

After a while I met the Berlin Urban Sketchers and learned about Urban Sketchers idea and network ... and I was enthusiastic about it.

I love the situation of drawing on location, of being very conscious of a place for a certain time, observing, watching closely, smelling, listening to the sounds and voices around me, talking with the people around me. I am trying to 'capture the moment' in my drawing. It is somehow the counterweight to my digital professional work.

I capture Berliners having a quick snack at an Imbiss stand (a small food stand or street food shop) on their way about town. Currywurst, Falafel and Döner Kebab stands are to be found wherever you might feel a bit hungry.

In the afternoons and during long summer evenings Berliners enjoy relaxing and meeting friends in one of the huge Biergärten under shady chestnut trees. I love the atmosphere in these places, relaxed and easy... it´s summer in Berlin!
