Fake It Til You Make It 3.0

Aaron Elswick is a South Florida based Urban Designer, licensed Landscape Architect, and Urban Sketcher. A Kentucky native, his passion and curiosity lies at the intersection of science, art and design. His favorite places to visit and draw are all full of life and color, and range from dense and urban to vast and natural environments. To better design such types of places in his professional career, with his free time he seeks them out and explores their beauty via his sketchbook. With his approach, the drawing process is utilized to gain understanding, insight, and at times, inspiration.

Drawing is the tool and the language he uses in his career to communicate, explore ideas, and to design cities of the future. Urban Sketching is how he practices. His approach to urban sketching has included various mediums throughout the years, but his objective has remained the same – to capture what he sees as quickly and legibly loose as possible.

Aaron says that becoming a member of USkChicago has had a tremendous impact on his life, both personally and professionally. The art of urban sketching can only be described as beautiful, and he’s looking forward to sharing it with everyone who attends his workshop.
