It’s so true how much deeper the memories are when you sketch. You might not have time to visit as many places, but the memories or still better! I’ve done holiday sketch/journals for my last 2 holidays and plan to keep doing it. I also love to include hand drawn maps of walks I’ve done, with tiny sketches of key points along the journey.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Maps are such fun to draw!

[@Mamakate2382]

I’m now wishing I had captured my travels in journals more than in photos, but I now have something more to look forward to in future travels thanks to your inspiring video. I’m an art teacher with over 30 years experience in the private sector and I must tell you that you’re an excellent teacher, Danny. Thank you!

[@SketchBookSkool]

That is wonderful to hear. Thanks for your kind words!

2 weeks ago I went to Paris and took a journal with me. I'm still working in it and it's made the trip last longer in my brain. It's the best souvenir I could have brought home.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Wonderful! It'll provide a lifetime of memories

[@paulawithers9501]

Transforming how you see the world! - Yes!!! Mindful traveling!

[@lcrews]

Your content brings me so much joy and inspiration. I just borrowed all of your books from the library and they are just as amazing as your videos. Thank you.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Wonderful! Why not join my channel to support my work?

[@allakimbo55]

Thank you! I’m heading to Paris in a few days. Great tips.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Bon voyage!

[@alyonabakurova5838]

thanks for this insane info, just started my first travel journal, awesome feelings

[@SketchBookSkool]

Have fun!

[@aliciag4513]

Thanks for all ❤

[@JosephDickson]

Pocket notebooks are great for this. I keep one at my desk at work and sketch anything for 5 to 10 minutes. Though, I haven't done it recently. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration.

[@mineralpast]

What a treat for this Saturday morning! Thank you Danny!

[@SketchBookSkool]

My pleasure! Have a great day

[@hanichay1163]

Thank you for the ideas! Here we are in Greece! My only regret is I didn’t bring a bit bigger sketchbook for more room for notes. 😟But loving it!

[@margaretmcglynn5077]

Your content is so helpful and your vibe is sweet and uplifting. Thanks for all you do!

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[@SlowLivingSligo]

I love this idea! I’m flying to England to visit my son next month and I’m very anxious about flying and navigating the busy airport and bus routes. I think concentrating on sketching my experiences will really help take my mind away from my anxiety along the way. I’m going to give it a go and I think it will be a souvenir to be really proud of when I get home. I’m really enjoying your videos. Many thanks 😊

[@biabri7471]

I brought home my first curated travel sketchbook and it was a joy. As you said, i tried to just enjoy the moment. Not to pressure myself like i do in my everyday illustrator Job practise. I need to challenge myself a Bit more in terms of becomig faster and letting go of my perfections, but this Time was a joy. I can recommend the Fabriano foldable sketchbooks. And i do have a tiny Palette be Schmincke. But this is such a cool Souvenir to take home❤

[@SketchBookSkool]

Wonderful! The more fun you have, the more you'll improve.

[@MOHSENnoSCOPE]

I like the flight suggestions it's really rare to say these specific tricks, thank you

[@SketchBookSkool]

Glad you like them!

[@theresapalmer7892]

Loved those safety tips. I love making travel journals, I don't buy souvenirs anymore that clutter up my house.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Me too!!

[@gamewrit0058]

3:40 "focus on moments, not masterpieces." ❤👍

[@teresak6008]

I love my travel sketchbook from Egypt, and reflect on details that are easily overlooked. I learned not to journal with a mechanical pencil as it rubs off easily and blurs. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips, they are priceless! ✍️🙏🙌

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thanks for sharing!

[@VivekPatwardhan]

Thank you Danny for another wonderful video. 🥰

[@SketchBookSkool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@seanodanielsart]

Waaay better than a camera💯💯

[@mkbuike7895]

I agree with all of the following! But…Moleskin paper quality has declined over past years. For mixed media I’d recommend Stillman &Birn hard cover pocket. For 100% cotton watercolor , I’d suggest Hanhemule’s hardcover pocket sketchbook. I do have a couple different kinds of stools. But I most often use Liz Steel’s method…I carry and sit on a large plastic bag. So much lighter and compact than a stool. Learned the hard way: kit bag should be waterproof. Timbuk2 is a large initial investment but good value.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Great suggestions!

[@Erinba]

Just got back from an amazing trip visiting grand Teton Yellowstone Colorado and arches - I am definitely going to make a travel journal based on my trip 😊

[@SketchBookSkool]

Sounds great! Next time try it while you're traveling!

[@suedigilio622]

Thank you for this! 😊

[@SketchBookSkool]

You're so welcome!

[@nichadaye1007]

I will try to sketch my surroundings. I bring my granddaughter to the train station and I will try to draw that.

[@Kirsch_art]

Thank you for the good Tips and inspiration ❤🎉🎉

[@SketchBookSkool]

No problem 😊

[@monicahanlin504]

Thanks for sharing this video.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thanks for watching!

[@deelynn8611]

I never go anywhere considered travel, rarely even leave my neighborhood area.

[@SketchBookSkool]

It’s great to practice on familiar ground.

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

Great advice Danny. I’m just about to embark on a journey to Nigeria.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Nigeria - wow ! Bon voyage

[@NeetusArtClasses]

Nice video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@veroniqueschitt1306]

Merci 🖌️🖌️🖌️

[@kirstenbridge2881]

Danny! I love your vids.. (showing my age there).. do you do classes? I need to get my art mojo back..

[@TheWishDragon]

For what it's worth, I can't tell what age you are but I would love classes too! :D ❤

[@SketchBookSkool]

Of course! I teach at sketchbookskool.com/. Visit our site. And I also teach here on KZbin.

[@michalnanny1098]

Hi! I would love to see your ISRAEL sketchbook! Please consider sharing it in a future video :-)

[@SketchBookSkool]

Sure thing!

[@hafizmazuki2443]

So what is the benefit of learning drawing? 😊

[@SketchBookSkool]

Are you kidding? Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIOTaKqAf651ras

[@susanpriestart]

The problem I have is the writing next to my work isn’t very good x

[@SketchBookSkool]

Your writing? Or your lettering?

[@jns0913]

👍

[@SketchBookSkool]

👌

[@MaryBreslan-jg3sp]

What if you can’t draw

[@SketchBookSkool]

Write about your experiences and try collaging ephemera to start! And, we believe anyone can learn to draw - it just takes slowing way down and really observing - practice is all you need. Start small and just see how great it feels!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Honestly...I'm not inspired...pencil or charcoal is good enough for me. But each to his own

[@SketchBookSkool]

Your kit would be easier to travel with for sure!

[@suzishapiro9867]

Fountain pens and Poscas! Not safe for planes!!!!! Planes ✈️

[@SketchBookSkool]

Indeed!
