Aw thanks!

I love how the end result looks carefully planned out and nicely filled! Last year I did a double page spread with stages of an orchid flower opening up over several days. It was great fun. Thanks for the reminder of doing a series of sketches, sort of as a time line, on one page

I'm FINALLY visiting family in the UK in July after nearly 5 years of not travelling (covid, assisting elderly dad in-law etc). So, looking forward to having time to sketch at the station, airport, train etc!

I use drawing fragments (didnt know thats what i was doing) whenever I have to wait for an appointment, or at the hospital. helps with my anxiety. 😊

Thanks Koosje. I like the idea of snippets, more than doodles but not so much as a drawing. Nice also to see the brush pen at work, I have one but struggled to get the hang of it, time to try it out again with your inspiration x

Thank you so much 😀

Several people have mentioned one should pick a subject and do sketches of that subject whenever they come across if. For instance, someone may pick trains, or buses, or taxis if there is an abundance of them. One might pick out barns, or horses, or windmills if they find there are many to choose from. Over the last several years as I drove my wife, or my oldest daughter, or myself for that matter 8:42 , to various doctor’s offices, x-ray or MRI waiting rooms, I have killed my wait times by sketching the waiting rooms I have sat in. Some even provide patients to fill in the seats and benches one finds. By now I have just about lost count of the number of waiting rooms I have sketched. Some of the people I have seen there have made for some very interesting subjects as well. I wonder if there is a market for sketches of local waiting rooms around here? The people sketches are not of the highest caliber so there would be no worry about letting the world know who was there and thus destroying their privacy.

You’re probably (unfortunately) not the only one with pages and pages filled in waiting rooms… it’s a great way to kill time, quiet anxiety, and much more…

I love it. Great work with all those people! A little scared for me just now. Your friend is very lucky having your friendship. Love from far away Buenos Aires.

Hoi Koosje, ik kijk graag je video’s. Een tijd geleden vertelde je in een video over een website waar steeds wisselende buitenbeelden over heel de wereld te zien zijn om binnen te urban sketchen, als je niet naar buiten kan. Weet je die website nog? Of iets soortgelijks. Alvast bedankt!
