sketching while traveling

Waiting at the airport is the perfect occasion to do some urban sketching. After seeing some of the recent blog posts on Urban Sketchers about doing sketches in the airport, I decided to try it out. So while I was waiting for our plane to be ready for boarding, I drew the picture above in my new travel sketchbook. It also caught the interest of this lady who was also waiting for the plane, on her way to Rome for three weeks (so lucky).  

For some reason, I never thought about bringing a sketchbook with me while traveling before and now I'm hooked! I'm bringing my sketchbook in my next trip!  I spent a good portion of the flight filling up my sketchbook and also took the opportunity to do some more live sketches of the view from my window in the sky and the seats in front of me.
