Jia's story after the jump

Our story begins…one drizzling day in Melbourne, two jobless young girls

decided to hang out at Federation Square to sketch for inspiration.

The end result:

Determined to add more cute doodles to their sketchbook, for future uses besides brushing up on their hand drawing skills, the girls began roaming cafes and random spots across Melbourne city, sitting down to doodle/sketch more.

Until one day…

So they approached the ASAM team…

Hence ASAM sketching is born!
