How I Use My Sketchbook While Traveling

How I Use My Sketchbook While Traveling

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Time for a new sketchbook tour! 

This one’s filled with travel moments, playful pages, and lots of experimenting. I used this Cara Cara sketchbook from Pith Supply during trips to Oslo and Lisbon, online drawing sessions, mini workshops, and random everyday moments (even while waiting at the hair salon - why not). You'll see ink and watercolor, gouache play, limited palettes, and a mix of tools, because trying new things keeps the creative spark going.

I also share how I make time to draw when traveling with others, and how this sketchbook helped me get back into the flow after a creative funk.

There’s a fun drawing assignment at the end, so make sure to watch all the way through. And if you’d like more drawing tips and inspiration, come join me on Patreon. There’s a 7-day free trial so you can take a peek first.
