Inktober is coming soon, and this year I want to approach it a little differently. Usually I stay quite close to the classic black ink on white paper, with lines and hatching. For Inktober 2026, I want to experiment more with mixed media, washes, textures, and different values. I am also adding grey into my palette, so instead of working only between black and white, I can use the paper itself as a natural mid-tone. If you’re looking for more traditional supplies this post is for you. More about Inktober like the prompt list and other information you can find
Miami Beach is such an inspiring place to sketch, especially if you love architecture and color. I spent a couple of days walking around with my sketchbook, black pens and markers looking for interesting buildings and compositions. There are so many beautiful Art Deco details around South Beach that choosing locations was not easy. Each stop gave me a chance to experiment with color, perspective, and different ways to simplify architecture. If you love quick and energetic sketches this post is for you. See my markers set here. Waldorf Towers My first sketch was in front of Waldorf Towers on
Disneyland California is full of rides and attractions. For me it was also a perfect place to open my sketchbook. I spent a day there and found small moments between the rides to stop, look around, and sketch different scenes. This time I wanted my sketches to feel very quick and loose. So instead of bringing many art supplies, I chose only 3 brush pens: black, brown, and red. This small setup made it easy to carry everything around the park and start sketching whenever something caught my attention. I did not try to capture every detail or make perfect
There is something special about exploring a national park with a sketchbook in your bag. I spent a couple of days around Sequoia National Park, stopping at different locations whenever a view caught my attention. I kept my setup very simple: a pen, a small watercolor kit and my sketchbook. Sketching this way slowed the trip and made it more personal. Instead of just taking photos, I had time to examine each place. You don’t need to travel far away from home for a sketch. All about it in my previous post here. Lemon Cove My sketching trip actually started
You do not always need to travel far away to feel like you are traveling. Sometimes a small walk nearby can become its own little journey when you slow down and start noticing the details around you. This weekend I took my sketchbook, Micron pen, and small watercolor kit and went for a walk near the lake. I found five completely different scenes to sketch along the way, from lakeside houses to a colorful sunset. It was a simple local walk, but sketching made every stop feel like a new place to discover. Last time I was sketching the beautiful
Tallinn Old Town feels like a place created for urban sketchers. It features medieval gates, narrow streets, and colorful buildings. The towers are dramatic and add to its character. During this creative journey, I focused on the streets, rooftops, gates, and architectural details. These elements give the old city its distinctive character. I used a Micron pen for the initial lines. I also carried a small watercolor kit to add color, shadows, and atmosphere without slowing my sketch walk. These five Tallinn locations offered very different compositions and helped me practice perspective, movement, contrast, and visual storytelling. If you missed
