Sketches in the Perfect Sketchbook Vol 1
I've finally completed The Perfect Sketchbook after six months, from 7 March to 23 September 2015. It's a small sketchbook and by right I could have finished it much faster. Each sketch took me about 30-45 minutes, however I don't use it often even though I wished I could.
I've used QoR watercolours for all the sketches below unless otherwise noted. And I've noticed that QoR is definitely not as intense as Mission Gold that I've used for a handful of the sketches.
The Vietnam Airlines plane I was about to board to go to Hanoi. Daniel Smith watercolours used.
A talk by Mindflyer and Miel at Basheer Graphic Books.
Drawing so much details in such a small book is challenging. You learn how to simplify, such as representing each book in the background with just one line each.
Singapore skyline from the Esplanade waterfront.
Botanical drawing requires a lot of concentration.
This is Waterloo St, Singapore. Drawing such a busy scene in such a small sketchbook is incredibly challenging.
