This exercise was so much fun and I'd definitely like to try more of these types of sketches. I decided to do this exercise when my Brother and I went to London for the day for the You Tube conference, 'Summer in the City'.
I collected my wrist band, ticket and a subway wrapper and used them to create these sketches.
Here I used my wristband as the back of the chair of this lady with fantastic hair. Her hair was grey, blue and pink and looked so beautiful tied in these French braids, I just had to draw her. I also quickly sketched the Instagram logo and Summer in the City logos whilst waiting for the panel to start.
It was quite difficult trying to capture her hair when drawing quickly, but I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. I'm not sure how successful the wrist band is as her chair back but I wanted to use it in the sketch I had already created.
We stopped for a quick lunch at 'Subway' and I tore off some of the wrapper to save to complete this drawing. I really like how this one turned out.
This one is my favourite. My brother just got his new car and it was my first time riding in it. He had driven us to London and so I wanted to use that some how in my sketch. My ticket for the event became the perfect option, I cut it up and used it to create this fun sketch. I used the QR code for the head lights and the text to represent the stripes he has down the side of his car.
On the way home it was raining a lot but then we drove through this amazing huge rainbow and I wanted to capture that in the drawing as well. I think it turned out the best of the three sketches.
Sketching in this way has been an eye opener for me, I really enjoyed capturing the special moments of our trip using these collected elements and doing the quick sketches was a great way to remember the day.
I'd definitely like to do more sketching like this since I found a connection in it and a purpose. I think looking back on these types of sketches would be really lovely in years to come.
