(Travel) Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today, I will give you a sketchbook tour of the sketchbook that I took with me to Tel Aviv, Israel. I went there to take a workshop taught by illustrators and urban sketchers Maru Godas and Marina Grechanik.(instagram: @MaruGodas and @Marinka71)

You'll notice that the sketchbook in today's video is not just dedicated to the trip. I use my sketchbook to draw daily - it's a visual journal. So it only makes sense to weave any trips into the pages in chronological order.Some people dedicate separate sketchbooks for their travels. The risk is that you won't be able to fill the whole sketchbook and that can be a bit frustrating. Filling the whole sketchbook in the short amount of time that you're on a trip, while exploring the place you're in... that's kind of a lot. The pressure of a whole blank sketchbook, could be a bit too high. It's up to you, but I don't do it.

Sketchbook shown in this video: Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook

Your assignment for this week is to go on a little adventure yourself.
It can be really small. Take your sketchbook with you, when you go outside anyway - on a trip to the grocery shop for example. Take a few minutes or maybe a little bit longer to draw on your way.
You might discovr something new on a rout that you take regularly.
Have fun!
