Hello from the Sketchy Traveler, a mostly free, mostly weekly newsletter on sketching, travel, and self-discovery. Paid subscribers make this newsletter sustainable while free subscribers inspire with their enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone for your support! Scroll past the fold for the latest drawings, adventures, and tips.

As a cold snap grips the USA, we are all wrapping up and huddling down inside to draw and experiment with tools and techniques, making this the perfect time to start the how to draw newsletter series. Every other week, I will post on either a set of tools or techniques to use with them. If you missed last week’s post on the beginner drawing kit be sure to check it out and stay tuned for next week’s post on beginner drawing techniques.
