I love sketchbook tours. This was one of the better ones. I love how you balance the composition with where you chose to color in things in the scene.

Thank you for your kind words. I definitely was more conscious of how my spreads looked in this sketchbook. My current sketchbook practice isn't that curated... call me lazy ;-)

I really enjoyed these sketches! I'm surprised you still remember so much about them, and it made the tour really interesting:)

[@wilwongart]

Thank you! I enjoyed revisiting them. I think part of the power of drawing a scene is that I'm in the moment absorbing not only what I'm drawing visually, but my other senses are engaged and that helps imprint that moment in my memory...

This is incredible I love how it shows everyday situations it's freshing

[@wilwongart]

Thank you! I get more enjoyment drawing the everyday over the "spectacular". When I look back at a drawing i usually can remember the circumstances surrounding it. Always nice to remember that I might have had a nice chat with a person beside me or that I had a great pastry while drawing at a Cafe. ;-)

Your drawings are absolutely amazing!Your sense of perspectives is really good! Moreover the colour washes make them more vivacious! Thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks for the kind words.... honestly, I look back at these earlier sketchbook and kind of cringe. Although I'm still happy with a few spreads in this sketchbook. ;-)

[@yvonners]

[@wilwongart]

Thanks! I'm planning to do the third one this weekend!

[@DJolygeneral]

I love your style! What kind of sketchbook is this? I’m always looking for THE one. 🙂

[@wilwongart]

Thanks, Dominique! I think this was a stillman and birn. I'm not too sure which particular line it is, but the paper is definitely thicker than the paper is in my current sketchbook.
