Throwback Thursday #6 Travel With Me Book

A look back at the Sketchbook Project 2012, where I participated with the theme Travel With Me.
It was a really good experience and fun to take part of something this big.

This short video shows the original sketchbook and the book it eventually became, now available on Amazon.

Travel With Me video on Youtube

I got a video together to showcase my sketchbook and book Travel With Me.

The first part is the Sketchbook Project 2012, which I took time to film before sending it off to the Art House Co-op, and the second part is the little book I made from that sketchbook, adding notes and anecdotes to the images.



Be sure to Like it, leave comments, and share it if you can.

sketchbook Project 2012 page 5 color

Here is the finished version for page 5: the Excalibur cafe and pub.
I've never been in, but it's a really neat business front when you come up on it.

Sketchbook Project 2012 page 4

This is the sketch for page 4. I'm thinking ink with a light watercolor wash... will see, might change my mind as I get it going.

Sketchbook Project 2012 page 3

Last couple days of school is movie day -which makes the kids self-sufficient for the most part, and since I'm ahead of the pack with my grading, I decided to give myself time to color. Here's how far I got on this page:

Page 2 of the sketchbook done today.
Looking at it now I might add a couple details to it, like coloring the sign yellow and possibly the cat for example, or something else -not sure yet, so here it is as it is for now.

First page started

Ok, now I can breath -the first page of the sketchbook has been drawn on. The pressure is off and we're up and running. I've got a general plan for most of the book. We'll see how things evolve.

This is the introduction page, which will be finished last, as the text will depend on what actually ends up in the book.

Sketchbook Project 2012

I signed up for the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project World Tour 2012... that's a mouth full.

I got it a few days ago and have been playing around in my head about what I want to do in it.

My theme is "Travel with me."
