Not a bad idea in theory but IMO only useful for showing off your sketches from obs sessions in the past, from your "archives" so to speak, (not from last nights session for example) as the one issue I see is it might result in duplicate posts and/or fragmented obs reports as people might end up posting the same material both in the obs section and sketch section or seperate their sketches from their reports. This happens on CN often which has both an obs and sketch section. Not only will it potentially fragment the forum, but also create some amount of confusion/inconvenience as posters will post the report in one section and the associated sketches in another section. Generally the obs section as it is provides a good medium for people to post their sketches with their reports in one post that will be seen and appreciated by those interested. The current arrangement IMO is pretty streamlined and works well.

Maybe one idea is making a sticky thread in the obs section entitled "sketches" where people can post their work if they wish and showcase the sketching talent of folks here without fragmentation of the forums or having to navigate through individual threads.
