All the sketches from the Sketching HCMC series

Here are all the sketches I've drawn to create the Sketching HCMC series of tutorials on Gumroad. These are all drawn from photo reference. Although not drawn from location, I still like them. But drawing on location would have given them more flavour. LOL

If you want to hear me talk about the sketches, just visit the Youtube links beneath each sketch.

This is the delicious steamed crab that I had at the Ben Thanh Street Food Market.

In case you're wondering, the sketchbook I've used is the Stillman & Birn Delta series sketchbook. Most are sketched with my trusty Pelikan M200 fountain pen, some with the Cretacolor Nero pencils. The watercolour is a mixture of Mission Gold and Daniel Smith.

If you want to learn how I created these sketches, you can support me on Gumroad or Patreon. Your support is deeply appreciated.
