Easter 2017 Travel Log


I decided to bring a small pocket notebook for my Easter Holiday. The idea is to make reportage illustrations on anything that I found interesting throughout the trip. It feels more natural drawing than note-taking or even verbally recalling memories when I have to explain what I did over the holiday to other people. Moreover, the travel log could be useful for future reference to trigger inspiration for making animation.

The purpose of using a relatively thin book to sketch is to exclusively tell the story of this adventure that I had. I also jot down thoughts inside the notebook sometimes which is rather personal, and I decided not to put up online. What I have been good at doing this year is to put down a pen to write and draw whenever I am deep in thoughts or if something really annoys me. Combining texts and doodles are my thing because I can express myself better with them paired up. Two is better than one. I sticked some of the tickets for museums, castles and transport to contextualise where I found the things that interest me.

Ultimately, I enjoyed the process as it has made me more aware of what's happening in my surroundings than ever before.
