Travel sketches from my recent trip. At least the beginning of it, because once the convention started, I stopped sketching and started writing in my journal. 😬

Many thanks to nostr:npub1f5kc2agn63ecv2ua4909z9ahgmr2x9263na36jh6r908ql0926jq3nvk2u for the inspo to finally try something I’d been thinking about for years.

Wow that is a great! I like how you laid everything out and have clear organized pictures. My sketchbooks are a MESS.

I bet it got hectic 😅 Writing is definitely a great way to capture moments without taking too much time. Sometimes I like to go back and look at my journals and draw something from those days. This especially helps when I have an artists block!

Also, glad you told the airport security not to scan your face. A lot of people don't know you can do that.

Although, one time the security person had a tough time ID'ing us. I'm not sure why? Maybe they forgot how human faces work.

Thanks! It’s fun looking at the sketches layer as they are great memory triggers for more than what is in the sketch.

Yes, the biggest thing I read about face scanning is to say you want to opt out and get their acknowledgement BEFORE you hand over your id. Once you give over the id/boarding pass (if at a gate), they start the process of taking the photo and can’t (or won’t) back out to just do a manual identification.

Yea, that's what I like about sketching moments. You remember them better. I would always doodle in class, and remember what the teacher talked about. It is interesting.

I also doodled a lot, though it wasn’t necessarily about the class. 😬

Have you seen sketch noting? It’s information enhanced with doodles. I do a bit of that for some of the art class videos I watch online.

I did not doodle anything the class is about. 😂 if I did that I would always be behind. It was just a random doodle that I don't care about. But it ends up being a marker.

I've kind of seen sketch noting but I don't think it works for me because it looks too neat and organized.😅

I always wish for a bigger piece of paper if I sketch note because somehow I end up crammed into a corner. 😑

I love this ❤️ what a great way to enjoy your memories

My teenage son is a wonderful artist and I am going to share this inspiring idea with him
