In San Cristobal de La Casas of Mexico, I tried to capture the indigenous people who were wandering around at the Plaza 31 de Marzo next to the Catedral de San Cristobal. They came from the surrounding villages every day, dressing in the traditional costumes, to sell their decent handmade weaving products.

Ramshackle Dwelling in Lei Yue Mun 鯉魚門寮屋

Sketchbook: Moleskine watercolour notebook 210x130 mm

Tools: Sakura Pigma 0.8mm , Winsor & Newton artist watercolor

Ramshackle dwellings are kind of vernacular architecture, squatting on hillside by the immigrants after the second world war. They usually made of scrap wood and corrugated iron. Although the structures were illegally built, these dwellings had effectively solved the problem of housing demand during the rapid population growth in 1940s to 1950s.

Sketching on the roof terrace of hotel sultanhill in the old town district of istanbul.

I occupied a good location here with view to the bloe mosque to finish my first sketch in istanbul.

Another sketch done on the roof terrace.

Safranbolu is a small town in turkey with many well preseved ottoman era house.

The sky was getting dark when I was sketching there, so I can only did it in rush and complete the colouring in hotel.

A 2 hours journey from safranbolu to amasra.

I was sitting behind the driver. What I can do was to draw the compartment through the rearview mirror.

Drew on the bus from safranbolu to Ankara.

The damping system of bus is no good but the shaking line looks not really bad

Done another sketch on the bus from Ankara to Goreme.
Perhaps I missed the stunning panorama view of safranbolu so much.











Drew on the terance of hotel door of cappadocia in goreme.
The drawing looks a bit messy.









Again, I completed another sktech on the terrace of the hotel on our last day staying in goreme.
The view from the hotel is perfect that I cannot stop myself to draw once again.
