Transcript

This is how to draw at the US open. Hi, my name is Kevin and I'm here with chase to share how I enjoy an epic day of tennis as a live sketch artist. Like all things in New York, let's start with location, location, location. Tennis is just different live and you're gonna wanna catch all the action up close. So that's why I appreciate the Chase Terrace. It's got a great view overlooking several courts that make it the perfect spot to capture players in those fun dynamic gestures. If at any point you need to take a break, remember that part of the fun is exploring the grounds, so take a quick side quest. Chase has a few activations in Champions Plaza with my favorites being the market and this fleet of phone rechargers, which you can borrow for the day. As someone who burns through a lot of battery recording video, a little backup is is always clutch. Here are a few more pages from my sketchbook I made while I was there. I hope you enjoy and I hope to see you out in Queens soon.
