Drawing while travelling

Putting out a few sketches now and then. Like crochet, drawing is portable and as a travel-friendly way to be creative, I can’t recommend it enough. I have a very small pencil case at the moment; a few pencils, one eraser, black ink pens with a few kinds of thicknesses….strangely enough, three sharpeners though? I don’t know how I have ended up with three, to be honest!

Just trying to make do with what I have at the moment, I have one A5 notebook and am focused on filling that, aside from a few journal sketches (different book). I want to believe this kind of exercise keeps my mind ticking over creatively. There’s no large rolls of paper, drawers of pens, canvases to paint on here! But maybe some of these sketches get worked up and become larger, more complicated in the future. It’s happened before. Here are a few of these journal sketches;

Thinking about being enveloped by pom poms…

Thinking about the Voynich Manuscript…

Planning out the colour schemes for a line of hunting or three…

Spring, spring, spring! Sketches about nettles, blooms, buds, bees, dandelions…

Patterns…

Thinking about the mundane again…

Thoughts about about Pinta island tortoises, whalers, UFOs and extinction…

Lastly, a dessert parade!

The question of how to stay creative while in a small space is something to tackle in many ways depending on what you can create! I also crochet and make rugs!
