Urban sketching is a lot more fun when you’ve got a car to take you anywhere and everywhere! We grabbed Singapore’s very own urban sketcher Teoh Yi Chie and hopped into a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross to visit the iconic Kampong Glam. Find out more about Teoh in this video as he speaks about some of his favourite urban sketching spots, and why he chooses drawing over snapping photos with his phone.
Check out what went on behind the scenes as Teoh went on an urban sketching adventure with Mitsubishi:
