Inspiration: Ten Travel Sketchbooks
There’s nothing quite like viewing other artists or designers sketchbooks to help you feel inspired. Whether it’s a sense of guilt because you haven’t been doing as much drawing as you would like to, or maybe it’s seeing a little bit of the world through someone else’s eyes that gets you excited, or maybe (as in my case) you would just love to be able to draw like this. And it’s nice to look at something NOT created in Photoshop or Illustrator. (Only for a little while though!)
There are tons of lovely sketchbook sites on the web but this is a list of 10 sites dedicated to the art of sketching while travelling or on holiday, in cities and the country. Some of these sites are collaborative efforts so you get to see lots of different styles. All images are copyright the artist.

Heather T.s last blog post..Another Freebie & A New Tutorial
Cheers Heather!
Haha, great stuff. This reminds me of a sketchbook that I wrote in years ago, and I did a full-page doodle that took a year to do (odd 10 minutes here and there).
I may dig it out and post it on my blog sometime. Thanks for the inspiration Jennifer

Hi Andrew
You should definitely dig it out. Sounds very interesting.
These are very cool! I have a collection of sketches and doodles like this! Not nearly as good though.
Trumpetvine Sketchblog is so lovely !
Every day is a icon-pictured day
Great list of sketch sites. I am still looking for a good sketch sites that portrays the beauty of the Smoky Mountains and other national parks. Photoshop has made a lot of people artist that could not be otherwise. But then again it has its own skill set to master also, to each his own.
The watercolours are great! Love urban drawings, it’s amazing how people can take such an ugly urban scene and turn it into something artistic and beautiful.
