A blog about writing, sketching, running and other things
I like old tins, and this one is one of my favourites, because of the sheer amount of fonts packed into such a tiny box.
Drawn with a Pilot dual tipped brush pen on a blank Moleskine Star Wars notebook and coloured with Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils.
A quick sketch at Breads Bakery. The uncoloured sketch is below the watercolour one.

I had less than 20 minutes for this one, so it came out all wrong in terms of the proportions of the Sorbonne building, but by the time I realised this it was too late, and I had a plane to catch. Posting this here because even mistakes have some charm to them.

A quick sketch in Luxembourg Gardens, Paris on a Stillman and Birn pocket Alpha. Still learning how much water this paper can take, and that’s the first use of a Uniball Signo white pen for the water in the fountain. I’m very pleased with this little trick I learned in the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Porto.
Made this quick sketch while waiting outside the Musee d’Orsay, and coloured it later with watercolours.
