When traveling, travel sketches can be broken down into several different forms.
1. If you lack painting skills, you can choose to save the ticket stubs from the trip in the form of a diary.
Paste different ticket stubs in a sketchbook or diary, with corresponding recording text, such as when, where you went, and some simple thoughts.
Pay attention not to stick the ticket stub too neatly when pasting it, but to have some sense of form.
Add some small decorative doodles or even small colorful stickers.
The overall form is similar to a handbook, and small decorations such as ticket stubs and postcards from different places interspersed in it will make this sketchbook and diary look very local and have a strong sense of belonging.
The following is a travel diary made by my classmate Even, which is mainly in the form of stickers.
Second, if you want to paint on-site, it is best to choose small-sized painting tools such as colored pencils, needle tubes, and watercolors that do not take up space.
Sketchbooks and diaries are preferably hard-covered so that you can draw easily even when there is no table.
(Colored pencils and watercolors take longer) When the time you stay in front of the object you want to draw is too short, you can roughly draw the outline and large color feeling of the object, and take photos of the object to prepare for further improvement when you have time.
manuscript.
(Needles, etc.) It is recommended to record the journey in the form of quick drawings such as needles, because the tools are relatively easy to bring and the drawing process can be simplified.
After drawing a rough outline, you can still complete a work in the future even if you no longer save the influence data of the painting object.
Third, the combination of photos and sketches.
Choose your favorite scene and take a photo.
When composing the photo, reserve the space you want to paint.
Or make secondary creations on the photos you took.
Make sure there is a certain connection between the background photo and the secondary creation of the painting.
For example: the background is the front door of a supermarket in Barcelona.
The content of the painting is fruit candies sold in a supermarket in Barcelona.
Use computer post-processing to process the painting pictures and the background photos taken.
And you can attach a text recording your mood at that time, etc.
(This is why you need to consider the composition of the background image when taking pictures. Only in this way can the picture presented be harmonious and designed.) The third form is what I use most.
I will take photos and draw a travel diary before going to bed after the day's trip.
For example: a single, hand-drawn travel map without computer processing. The following is a processed travel map with relevant travel background photos added: And the following is a processed travel map with relevant travel background photos added: Background: Barcelona
Picture of fruits sold in supermarkets: The hearts of all eaters in the world fill their stomachs but not their hearts.
But I really like Barcelona, ??fruits and seafood.
There is a sweet smell in the air.
Background: Venice on a rainy day Picture: Who are you today?
The Carnival of Venice comes to mind from the Venetian masks.
"Loneliness is one person's carnival, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people."————————————————————————————————
————————The following are some of the photo travel diaries I made when I was an exchange student in Denmark from the second half of 2012 to the beginning of 2013 and traveled to other European countries, using the above method.
"Life is a journey, from here to there, from me to you." One summer, cicadas entered my life. They shouted "cicada" and "cicada" all summer long. This voice accompanied me from the Eastern Hemisphere.
Arriving in the Western Hemisphere, I began a journey of living and studying in a foreign land.
Background: On the way from Denmark to Germany, I was taking a boat. The sea breeze was very strong and the waves were also. Picture: In the creative market, there was an ugly hug doll, very soft and gentle.
Background: Berlin glass wall photo: It’s easy to please me, first please my stomach, and then give me a smile and a hug:) Background: Photo taken on the window sill of a museum in Berlin: When I arrived in Berlin, I caught up with Berlin’s annual
festival of lights.
Drinking beer, eating sausages, and looking at the colorful lights.
The group of people noisily drank the taste of friendship down their throats, and it still feels warm to this day.
Background: A picture of a lamppost in Berlin: Everywhere I go during my travels, I send postcards to myself and my friends as important evidence that I have been there.
You lost my memory of Berlin, and because I was so taken away by the beauty of Heidelberg, I also lost the evidence of my visit here.
Background: A picture of a steel bridge in Munich: The impression of Germany as a serious foodie is neither strict and rigid nor industrially developed, but a variety of delicious food.
After all, the amorous Germany in the eyes of foodies is all about the taste of food.
Background: Barcelona supermarket Boquería Picture: Bar-Celina=Barcelona. Good wine and beautiful people are Barcelona.
LOLOLOL, the first choice for fine wine is the Czech Republic.
Haha, unfortunately, the lazy style and bar culture of Barcelona people are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making the wine even more delicious.
Background: Picture of fruits sold in a supermarket in Barcelona: The hearts of all diners in the world fill their stomachs but not their hearts.
But I really like Barcelona, ??fruits and seafood.
There is a sweet smell in the air.
Background: Candelabra in Milan Cathedral: The cathedral in the rain gives people a subtle feeling, like reality and a dream.
I have never been able to describe it accurately, but at a certain moment, a color came into my mind, "bean paste green", that's it.
I don't know if it was because of the rainy day or because I was in a trance, but I felt that Milan Cathedral was a touch of green lingering in people's hearts.
