Sketching New Orleans – #inktober2019 Day 01

First one ready, Sketching New Orleans – #inktober2019 Day 01 marks the start of this year’s journey

It doesn’t matter how many times I sketch, when it comes to Inktober, it feels different. There is always a scary feeling of commitment, maybe is about the exposure, who knows…

My first piece this year comes from one of my travels. It is about one of my favorites places ever, New Orleans. The very first day, my first walk, on my first corner turn, I found this and I got amazed. So I had to stop and dedicate the time to capture that image.

I made this particular piece using a pencil. But not just a regular pencil, but a magic pencil that I got it at the best art store in the whole city, David Art Center. That was my very first stop when I got to the city, before moving to the touristic area.

I really enjoyed inking this piece, it brought me lovely memories from our trip to New Orleans. We stayed in the Garden District steps away from Magazine Street Which is the main street in the area. I have to get back to New Orleans some day…

Well, I can say that the game has begun, Sketching New Orleans – #inktober2019 Day 01 completed.
