Here's some sketches from my recent visit to France. Drawings are from Aix-en-Provence and Paris, June 2011.Using Col-Erase pencils, Pitt Pens, and Copic Markers in a Holbein 9" x 11" Multi Drawing Book.
It's great to draw stuff besides my assignments and it's great to draw from life. I think drawing what you see when traveling is one of the best ways to "see" things. You really have to study all the details of the subject matter and it's sticks in your head the way no photo can!
Enjoy!
