Sketch it Quickly: An Easy Guide to Drawing Your Travel Memories

Who is the class for?

• Beginners – you will be guided through the process of finding the most basic lines, shapes, and elements of atmosphere on the site
• Intermediate or advanced artists – this course may give you some new insights, especially if you are not used to drawing quickly outdoors, or if you are looking for solutions for capturing the atmosphere of the places you visit.

Why is this class really useful?

• If you want to start learning to draw, or to improve your drawing, this is a perfect class for you 
• Further, this is a well-being course. It will help you learn how to take some “me time”
• This is also a kind of a travel course, as it shows you how to slow down during your trips and just enjoy.

Equipment

In my drawing demonstrations, I use the following equipment:

• A simple, affordable sketchbook without lines
• 2B/4B graphite pencil, but even an HB will work
• 0.2, 0.3, or 0.5 pen, or any ball pen
• Brush pen
• Colored pencils of your choice
• Eraser and pencil sharpener

! Any kind of pencil or pen you have on your disposal will work fine to achieve the goals of this course. !

I made a more elaborate guide through my equipment, and you can have a look on it here. 

Resources and Materials on Your Disposal

• Your project checklist – you can print it and write over it, or you may open it in your favorite image editing program and type over it!
• Three reference photos of places used in my drawing demonstrations
• For each reference photo, I provided one diagram with basic shapes and lines that help you figuring out how to sketch the place
