How to Do a Travel Sketch

Some people ask me how to do a travel sketch.  this blog is a step by step approach explaining how to approach making a travel sketch.

Travel sketching is about observing and documenting.  So, consider it a bonus if your sketch turns out as art. Don't worry about whether or not you will be making a good drawing.  Rather, think of sketching as an experience. When you take the time to sketch you will be in a place long enough to feel the ebb and flow of people, to see the change in light, and to get the experience of local folks approaching you in their native language.  You also get to sit and look at something long enough to really see it. 

This blog post is a travel sketch lesson and case study I did as a tourist in my own hometown - step by step instructions of my sketch process for a building I’ve been meaning to sketch for years, the Salt Lake City and County Building.

Step One: Grab yourself an inexpensive, hardbound sketchbook and a thin felt tipped pen. It is tempting to buy more than this, but don’t – keep it simple. The hard cover is to protect your work. I recommend an inexpensive sketchbook to keep it from being intimidating (and too precious). I also recommend starting with a pen (not a pencil) so you can’t erase. I’ve used many, sizes and types of sketchbooks, but my recommendation is a small book that fits in your purse, or the breast pocket of a blazer. My travel sketchbook pictured below is from a company called Global Art Handbook . It has a handy little pocket in the back cover for paper relics, a convenient bookmark ribbon, and a elastic strap to help keep it closed.

Step Eight: Remember that sketching is NOT about "knowing how to draw.” Rather, your assignment is to draw what you see (and you’ll be surprised by how much more you will start seeing when you start sketching). Yes, draw that funny, weird shaped little knob thing, and that oddly sloping roof (even it isn’t sloping the way you thought) and the shape of that shadow which has no geometrical name. It will also help if you give parts of your subject unusual names so you aren’t adding any pre-conceived form: i.e. I’m drawing that “mcheditty”, and here is that little “ugghme”, let’s not forget that “grheeetid” etc.

Note that in my progress image below that my sketch grew to about 25% larger than I had planned (you can tell because the diagonal dash I mentioned before – for the plaza – is now part of the tower base). At this point, I committed to leave out some of the pieces of my subject, but I decide to keep going.

For my sketch of the Salt Lake City and County Building, I knew that adding trees was inevitable (which is typical). And adding trees can be intimidating since they have such odd shapes. Consider adding your trees at the end so you have flexibility resolving the main subject. And, when you start adding trees or bushes; remember to draw what you see, and use the leaves to add graphic contrast (dark against light objects, and light against dark objects). When I squinted at my composition to study the trees, they were dark so I used a dark, tight, circular shade pattern bunched up where there was shade, and more sparsely where light was coming through the trees. Once you’ve added trees, don’t forget to jot down the location, the date, and add your signature.

Here are a few other pointers to keep in mind about travel sketching:

If you are right handed, draw on the left page in your book so you can rest your right hand on the right page (reverse this if you are a lefty). With practice you can use both sides of the book, but use this technique at first for extra control.

After you’ve given the fine pen a test drive, try out some different media: ink nib, pencils, watercolor, markers etc. Most importantly, consider whether or not the media will bleed through your notebook. It is fine if they do, just avoid soiling a prior sketch on the other side. The sketchbook page below has pencil sketches, quick pen sketches, and some bleed through from a wet sketch on the opposite side of the page. I think the variety adds interest to this entry. I never signed or dated this sketch. The arched space is from the St Genevieve Library in Paris. It took me far longer to negotiate getting a library card than it did to do this sketch.

Try giving your camera a rest. One of the best things that ever happened to me is when my camera broke as I arrived in Asia for a 90 day trip. My only option for documentation was to sketch, and it just kept getting more enjoyable. If you get clever about how to use a sketchbook for travel, it can actually be more useful than a camera. For example, the sketch below of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela was done from several different sources: Part of the cathedral was covered in scaffolding when I arrived so a photograph would have only shown the building clad in construction fencing. I wanted to understand what the building actually looked like so I laid out the sketch, and added the information from the parts that weren’t covered, then added information shown on super graphics on the scaffolding, and I also added some information from a brochure I grabbed in the nave.

Printmaker and avid sketcher Anne Desmet RA shares her travel sketching tips

Wondering how to sketch while you travel? Illustrator of Anne Desmet: A Greek Journey is here to help you make the most out of your travel sketchbook.

Why is it important to sketch when travelling?

Travel sketching, for me, serves many purposes. It provides a visual diary of a significant journey; I often find that, when I look back at my travel drawings, even years later, I can remember the mood of the moment – the sun, the breeze, some of the sounds or smells – quite clearly.

Because each drawing takes anything from 20 minutes to three hours to create, I get very absorbed in what I’m doing and that seems to fix itself more effectively in my memory in ways that simply photographing a scene does not.

Also, as an artist whose prints are highly dependent on my drawing abilities, I find it is really important to keep those skills fluent and that involves making the time to do sketchbook drawings just simply to keep up my drawing skills.

Why should I work in pen and wash?

It enables me to pin down the essential contrasts of light and dark in whatever I’m drawing. My most successful drawings tend to be those involving a lot of contrasted bright sunlight and deep shade. Those contrasts provide the excitement and life in the composition and suggest the three-dimensionality of the landscapes or buildings depicted. Those qualities are of great importance to me in my work as a wood engraver.

What should I have in my travel sketch kit?

My essential sketching kit comprises a bunch of sharpened HB pencils (preferably Staedtler) though I’ve also recently starting using a Pentel P205 0.5 mm HB propelling pencil, which is becoming indispensable too. I also use black fine line drawing pens: Uni Pin Fine Line with water-and fade-proof pigment ink, 0.1 and 0.2 nib size; and a Pilot G-TEC-C4 with a 0.4 nib size.

I also always carry a dilute solution of black Quink fountain-pen ink, about one-part black ink to at least six parts water – sometimes more dilute even than that. That provides my grey wash which can be applied in swift layers which dry fairly instantly – the darkest layers becoming a rather lovely blue-grey and the palest having a hint of yellow about them.

I also have four or five Pro Arte Prolene flat brushes for applying these washes, sizes 1/8” to 1/2”, a few Caran d’Ache watercolour pencils and a tin of Rembrandt watercolours.

How do I pick a subject to draw when travelling?

It’s difficult to analyse what draws me to a particular subject. It’s a combination of things. Strong contrasts of light and dark are important, as is a sense of drama – whether architectural or landscape. Sometimes it may be something as simple as a zigzag of sunlight on a flight of stone steps or the angle of light hitting the side of a building. Other times it may be a sense of sweeping panorama, so a drawing might start on one page and be able to sweep downwards or across to cover two pages with one long narrow drawing. Or I might just be struck by the beauty or the shape of a particular building and the way in which the sun sparkles on it.

There are also practical factors such as whether the view is something I feel I can do justice to in whatever time I have. That decision will factor in the sun as well because it’s much more comfortable to draw from a shady spot rather than in full sunlight when you’re liable to get too hot or even sunburnt.

What information do I need to get down first in a travel sketch?

It’s important to decide what you are most interested in about the view and ensure that particular bit gets included in the drawing. It’s very easy to start drawing one part of a view and then realise the bit you liked the best doesn’t now fit within the picture space because you haven’t correctly gauged the scale of your composition relative to the space on the page. So, ideally, it’s a good idea to decide, first, where to place the area of the composition that most interests you.

Another really important thing is to decide whether it’s a linear description that you’re trying to attain or a sense of light and dark. If the latter, then it’s important to try to get the essential elements of the composition laid down speedily so that you can get to work fairly rapidly on applying the wash, which defines the light and dark contrasts. You can always add more pen and pencil detail to the drawing later but, once the sun moves, the light will be in a different place.

How important is accurate colour mixing in travel sketchbooks?

I have never considered colour work to be my forte. When I was a student and made the earliest Greek drawings, they were made with Winsor & Newton coloured inks and watercolours . I think they were more impressionistic and quite playful with colour, but not necessarily especially accurate colour-wise.

However, with the latest Greek drawings, I found myself getting quite obsessive about trying to mix accurate colours that felt true to what I was actually seeing. I found that really difficult and challenging, though also really satisfying on pages where I felt I succeeded.

How do I choose what details to include or leave out?

I work fairly intuitively so I’m not sure quite how I choose what details to include or to leave out. My eyesight is less good now than it was 30 years ago and often I choose to sketch without wearing my prescription glasses because, although that means I can’t see some details, I get a stronger impression of the light and shade and the strength of a composition, overall – especially if I’m drawing trees, for example. Sometimes, having the benefit of perfect eyesight can be a handicap as it’s easy to get bogged down in tiny details and lose sight of the overall structure of what you’re drawing.

How much time should I spend on a travel sketch?

I don’t set myself time limits on sketches unless there are specific issues such as the sun will have moved in an hour or I have a ferry to catch. However long you spend, it is very important to stop when your concentration is flagging, because you tend to start improvising on a drawing rather than really looking at the subject matter – and the drawing always suffers if you do that.

What are the benefits of sketching rather than photographing a scene?

I do make photographs as additional reference material to my drawings, but I almost invariably find that the camera distorts or compresses a view so that the features that attract your eye – and which you try to convey in a drawing – are much less apparent in the photographs.

Light, too, is captured very differently by a camera lens than by the human eye and hand. Both photographs and drawings have their very useful places, but I don’t find either one a satisfactory substitute for the other. Over the years, some of my wood engravings have been created from photographs rather than from drawings but, overall, I would say that the use of light I employ in my engravings and the way in which they are composed is informed more by my drawings.

Should I note exact locations in a travel sketchbook?

My sketchbook drawings form an important visual diary and personal celebration of some of the places I’ve visited so it’s important to me that they are dated and the locations noted down. In one or two of my sketchbooks, over the last 30-odd years, I haven’t systematically added that information and, looking back on them now, that’s incredibly frustrating.

How has your travel drawing technique and focus changed over time?

My technique and focus changed considerably when I was a Rome Scholar at the British School at Rome for a year in 1989-’90. It was there that I became interested in the play of light on architecture rather than so much in landscape or portraiture, which had previously engaged me. It was then, too, that I began to sketch, primarily, in pencil and grey wash.

What should I record if I want to turn my travel sketch into a larger artwork?

I don’t generally sketch with a view to turning any particular subject or drawing into a specific print or collage. I work fairly intuitively, responding to what attracts my eye at the time, which I will sketch and photograph. Back in my studio, I will look at the drawings and photographs to choose what to work up into a new work. But sometimes I may select something from a decades-old sketchbook and sometimes something freshly drawn. I have no hard and fast rules about this. The drawings are very much ends in themselves, and may or may not be used for other purposes.

What practical advice do you have for creating a travel sketchbook?

I’ve found it helpful to carry very tiny sketchbooks – A6 or smaller – because they’re very portable and, if you work quickly, you’ll fill the pages very fast, which can be satisfying, and if, like me, you’re a slow worker, the page size is small enough to not feel intimidating.

It’s important only to sketch things that interest you and not to feel you have to draw this, that or the other because of some sense of what sketches ‘ought to’ be of. For instance, I know a wonderful artist, Peter S Smith, who makes gorgeous sketches of his shadow on train platforms, pavements, at bus stops and so on, yet it may well be that some of these were drawn within sight of famous monuments – St Paul’s Cathedral, for instance. A student might feel this “ought to be” the chosen subject matter if one is within sight of it, but in fact you need to draw what most interests you because the amount of interest you’ve got in a subject is always clearly represented in the drawing you make of it.

It’s also helpful to try to make at least one drawing per day on your travels (weather permitting, if outdoors) as you get better at it and it gets more fun the more of it you do.

Travel Sketchbook ideas

People often say “I can’t even draw a straight line. Forget about sketching.”

I tell them, “ That’s great. You don’t need to draw straight lines.” There’s no such thing as a born artist. It is all about practice, practice, and more practice. 

Look for inspirations around. If you find your zen moment of producing a sketch on the spot, go ahead sketch it out. If not, look for small collectibles like dry leaves, ticket stubs to paste in your travel sketch book for inspiration to strike you later.

In the above image, we had hiked up a hill and it was absolutely beautiful and surreal there. There were prayer flags strewn all around. I picked up a few and pasted them in my sketchbook.

Putting together a travel sketch kit

A travel sketching kit must be a collection of the basic tools required for making a sketch. Also, I have found having limited supplies encourages me to be creative. Such as, mixing two different mediums.

Here’s what you will need:

• Black pens with waterproof ink
• Colour pencils
• Pencil sharpener

Yes, I’ve deliberately left out the ruler and eraser😊

You could also keep a box of crayons, some watercolor pencils, and a glue stick. If you have smaller children, avoid carrying watercolors. For older children, a small watercolor pan and some water brushes are perfect. Keep it small, simple, and light.

A5 size sketchbooks with thicker paper are a good choice – they fit in everywhere and are not too small for landscapes.

Pro Tip: I like to keep all my art tools in a sling bag. This helps me access my art kit easily.

5 Awesome Tips for Travel Sketching for Beginners

Choosing a subject.

Start with a tiny step – don’t try to draw the entire forest or city around you. Choose a small window of a house, a dry leaf on the ground, or an interesting branch.

Long waits in airports can be used to draw the people, bags, food stalls or simply the announcement boards. You could even draw maps to show the places you visited.

This is a small town in Sirsi, Karnataka . The blue roofs amid all the browns and reds interested me and I decided to sketch the road.

Outlining in pencil

Draw an outline of the object using a pencil. It does not have to be perfect – if something looks off, draw over it.

Forget if the drawing “appears correct” – the idea is to capture the object in your own style and have fun while doing it.

Adding in the details using a black pen

Now that you have a basic frame done, add in the details using a pen. Encourage children to add some text to capture the place, date, the sounds around you, or any other details.

You could paste things around your sketch – a ticket stub, a leaf, restaurant bills, bits of pamphlets.

Ask a local to teach you how to write a few words in their dialect on your sketchbook.

There were some changes from the pencil outline. However, I didn’t erase anything.

Adding the final touches with colours

Use a mix of different colours to add life to the sketch. If you are in a hurry, colour in the most prominent bit – the red bricks, a green tree, or that yellow dress. This will save some time while capturing the essence of the place.

You’ll notice I’ve added some blue in the sky which is not there in the photograph. As an artist, you can take liberties while making a travel sketch 😊

Doing art at home or at school is different than working in a public area.

When I sketch during my travels, people often stop to see what I am drawing and want to talk about it. I remember, when I started travel sketching, I’d worry that my drawing is not good. I felt people passing by were judging me.

Eventually, I stopped worring about all those things. I’d simply draw. And that is when I enjoyed outdoor sketching the most!

So, I’d say be kind to yourself.

Don’t judge what you draw.

Just go with the flow.

Drawing on different types of paper, like newspapers, can be a lot of fun.

Often the joy is in making the art and not worrying how it turns out! There is no perfect bird … just the one you have drawn. Seema Misra, www.lighttravelaction.com Tweet

Travel Sketching – Capturing the Feel of a Place

Marco Bucci shows the Process and gives awesome ideas for sketching places from life. See the video for the art of composition, color, focal point, feel, etc.

Travel sketching for children

Encourage children to draw from their observation. Drawing from observation simply means drawing what you see. And, it is the essence of travel sketching.

Breaking the object into smaller shapes

For example, you are looking at a majestic British building and your daughter is stumped where to start drawing it. Ask, “What does the building look like? Do you see a rectangle with a triangle on top? Do the windows remind you of a shape?

Have fun with colors and collage. The above sketch always takes me back to the greenery of a tea estate.

Focus on the process not the outcome

Even if a child fails to colour inside the lines or draws a circle which is more of an oval, it is absolutely fine. Encourage the children to experiment with colours and shapes – give them the tools to draw but don’t tell them what to draw.

Making sketching fun during travel

Engage with your little story teller and ask her to describe the picture to you. Who knows she might have an interesting tale behind the picture and the colours used. 

Last but not least, don’t forget to complement the little Picasos. It would be great if you could mention specifics, like “Wow, I love the way you have drawn that leaf.”

Tips to get you started on designing, printing & promoting your Travel Agent Flyers

When it comes to creating a flyer for a travel agent, highlighting special travel offers is a great way to attract potential customers. These offers can provide an incentive for people to choose your agency and can make their vacation dreams more affordable. Here are some special travel offers that you can highlight on your flyer:

• All-Inclusive Packages: Offer all-inclusive vacation packages that include flights, accommodations, meals, and activities. This can be a great deal for travelers who want to relax and enjoy their trip without having to worry about additional costs.
• Early Bird Discounts: Encourage customers to book their trips well in advance by offering early bird discounts. This not only helps you secure bookings in advance but also gives travelers the opportunity to save money.
• Group Discounts: Highlight any special discounts you offer for group bookings. Whether it's a family reunion, a destination wedding, or a corporate retreat, offering group discounts can attract larger bookings.
• Off-Season Deals: Promote travel offers during off-peak seasons when destinations are less crowded and prices are lower. This can be particularly appealing to budget-conscious travelers.
• Exclusive Upgrades: Provide special offers for upgrades such as room upgrades, VIP airport services, or premium dining experiences. This can add a touch of luxury to a traveler's trip and make it a truly memorable experience.
• Multi-Destination Packages: Showcase unique travel packages that allow customers to visit multiple destinations within a single trip. This can be a great option for adventurous travelers who want to maximize their travel experience.

Remember to design your flyer in a visually appealing way that highlights these special offers. Use eye-catching images, bold headlines, and clear call-to-action buttons to capture the attention of your audience.

When it comes to effectively marketing your travel agency, flyers can be a great tool to attract potential customers and showcase the unique offerings of your agency. Here are some tips to create attention-grabbing travel agency flyers:

• Start with a compelling headline: Grab the attention of your target audience with a catchy headline that highlights the benefits or special offers of your agency. For example, "Discover the World with Our Exclusive Holiday Packages!"
• Use captivating imagery: Include high-quality images of popular travel destinations or beautiful landscapes to evoke wanderlust and entice readers to learn more about your agency.
• Highlight your expertise: Showcase your agency's experience and knowledge in the travel industry. Mention any certifications, affiliations, or awards to establish credibility and trust with potential customers.
• Provide essential information: Include key details such as contact information, website, social media handles, and office location. Make it easy for readers to reach out and connect with your agency.
• Create a clear call to action: Encourage readers to take the next step by providing a clear call to action. This could be visiting your website, calling your office, or signing up for a newsletter to receive exclusive travel offers.
• Offer special deals or promotions: Entice potential customers by featuring special offers, discounts, or limited-time promotions. This can help create a sense of urgency and encourage immediate action.
• Include customer testimonials: Incorporate positive reviews or testimonials from satisfied customers to build trust and credibility. This can help reassure potential customers that they are making the right choice by booking with your agency.
• Consider the design and layout: Ensure that your flyer has a clean and organized layout that is easy to read. Use a color scheme, fonts, and graphics that align with your agency's branding and create a professional and visually appealing flyer.
• Distribute your flyers strategically: Identify target locations where your potential customers are likely to be. This can include travel agencies, hotels, airports, and tourist information centers. Also, consider partnering with complementary businesses such as hotels or local attractions to display your flyers in their establishments.
• Measure the effectiveness of your flyers: Set up a system to track the response and effectiveness of your flyers. This can be done by using unique promo codes or dedicated phone numbers to assess the impact of your marketing efforts.

By following these tips and being strategic in your flyer distribution, you can effectively market your travel agency and attract new customers to experience the amazing destinations and services you offer. Remember to continuously evaluate and refine your marketing strategies to stay ahead in the competitive travel industry!
