Moleskine

Here are some more pages from my Moleskine sketchbook from March/April. I was re-reading the Walt Stanchfield notes at the time so I was trying to draw EVERYTHING I saw! But small & quickly-

These are from a trip to Paris back in March when the weather up north was still cold.



One weekend we drove across the border to the nearest Italian town-Ventimille-known for its leather market.


This is Cannes-trying to capture kids playing frisbee on the beach.


Cap d'Antibes- trying to amuse myself while sunbathing on the beach with Raja.



Fréjus/St.Raphael & St.Tropez

Der Bursche hat Stil !
Bon sang, comme c'est beau, mais avec autant de louanges, tu vas finir par avoir le melon.
Alors gratuitement, j'ai envie de dire : "Tout ça manque de couleur et d'esprit, c'est n'importe quoi !"

This makes my "metro sketches" post look like some retarded kid´s uselesss attempts at drawing.
How in the world can you ever get that clean line , perfect quality sketch in an akward place like.. an airport where you problably have to draw standing up, or leaning on some wall??. I was getting back ache when trying to draw in the subway!
Very inspiring indeed!!

Dani.
