Brown : People and Places I

A dear friend of mine recently gifted me a sketchbook she bought from Indonesia. Now since the two most popular things in Indonesia are the cinnamon cigarettes and batik, it seemed normal for them to wrap the sketchbook in beautiful batik print. The sketchbook has brown recycled paper, which makes it even more interesting to use. The rough grains of the paper make it an apt medium to sketch on with a pencil. Though, I am uploading a few sketches I made with my pen recently. There are more sketches which I will upload eventually.

One Minute One Sketch

Following the advice given by one of the more mature sketchers on the Urban Sketchers (*.org) blog, I set out making sketches while not giving each one more than one minute. I also experimented on people which I hardly draw. The exercise was enriching and felt really free. Plan to keep repeating this. Plus I ended up with so many sketches!!

Regards.
