While I was drawing this, the snowplough drove past and the snow was gone.

Drawn with Karlsruhe Urban Sketchers.

Although I have a lot of sketchbooks filled with drawings, this is the first book I've ever used to fill every page, (also the front and back cover) with a drawing in ink. I began in March 2016 and every night I would draw something in ink. I drew from photos, I doodled nonsense, I used rulers and circle templates. The only rule I gave myself was that I had to use ink and I couldn't sketch in pencil first. Mistakes were made but it was okay, it was very freeing.

Inspired by Sylvain Cnudde!

This took a few attempts to finish between the snow showers. I’m not sure if these were tiled or slate roofs.

The waiter told us that a few months ago football hooligans systematically smashed all these Art Nouveau windows.

Yet another drawing from yet another cafe in yet another tree filled square!

Watercolor, ink and collage letter by Edouard Manet on Watercolour Book Hahnemülhe.

This was drawn on the open momument day and I’d hoped I could go up the tower for a view of the city but it was shut so I drew the view of the interior.

Just a 180° turn from the last sketch.

Stopped sketching and crossed the road as an aggressive dog passed.

This was hard work. I thought I could get the whole building on one page in one sitting, in the end it was scattered over 5 pages. I had to go back twice to finish the sketch. Trams kept stopping in the view. And it kept raining. And it was cold.

I like to take walks in my suburban neighbourhood. Although my route is sometimes repetitive, the scenery changes with the seasons and the weather to make it interesting. This scene is from a series of photos that I took on a recent walk when I was searching to find scenes to sketch. My sketch attempts to illustrate a crisp winter morning on a street near my home. While the scene may not be breath-taking, the temperature was!

J'aime me promener dans mon quartier résidentiel. Même si mon itinéraire est parfois répétitif, le paysage change au fil des saisons et de la météo, ce qui le rend intéressant. Cette scène est tirée d'une série de photos prises lors d'une récente promenade, alors que je cherchais des sujets à dessiner. Mon croquis tente d'illustrer un matin d'hiver frais dans une rue près de chez moi. Si le paysage n'est pas à couper le souffle, la température, elle, l'était !

I had just visited Yuki Horikoshi so afterwards I was inspired to leave some negative space in this sketch.

Check out his work, I love it:

This was drawn in angled sunlight. It’s a bit too angled and I rushed before the sun disappeared.
