Sketching China

 

I decided to make a calendar-type sketch of our Shanghai-Xian-Beijing trip

My journal spread

last November. I love the idea that I can see the highlights of our entire trip in a single spread of my journal.

Park Hotel and Shanghai Postal Museum

French Concession Walking Tour

Yu Garden; Xi’an

Terracotta Soldiers

Beijing’s Great Wall of China

 

It took me two months to finish it. And the rewarding feeling I got after the last, final brushstrokes was incomparable.
