A product for Urban Sketchers
This project intended to create an object that improves the activity of UrbanSketchers. Therefore, the path followed after analysis and research, was to create something to correct some of the postures they adopt during their activity. "Knee" intends to, in addition to correct some body positions, make possible its use in a variety of ways so that you can get the best advantage of the location your drawing, like in stairs, opens fiels, vertical walls, and most of the enviroments in a city.
