Sketchbooks

The intricate drawing had been done before I appropriated the moleskine to be my Europe sketchbook, I just tucked the beginnings of my travels into the lower right corner. My goal was to fill the book up during the week and I almost made it, 38 spreads out of 41. It was a different experience for me, to look with my pen. Most of the work is done with a Micron 01 felt tip art pen.

It poured rain during the drive to the airport and the shuttle driver didn't realize I was getting off at that airport instead of continuing on to the next. I rushed through to get to my gate. The flight itself went pretty well, except that when I tried to play the video games my remote didn't work. It looks like his was...

My attempt at drawing the very long line to check-in at the Brussels airport only captured a tiny piece of it. After going through the multitude of steps to reach the gate I felt like I'd been going through a labyrinth, but not the relaxing kind.

I ended up with quite a lot of ideas from my trip, actually. I also ended up waiting quite some time for my luggage to arrive, and that was after I was glad that being an American citizen made my trip through immigration short. I did spend some more time waiting and such afterwards, but I was so tired and so ready to get home that I didn't add anything more to my sketchbook. I was done. I am pleased with this as my first effort and hope to follow it with others.
