13 days Sketching in London 2024
I visited London in December 2024 with my family and kids. We have been there for two weeks [13 days]. I used to wake up on 5 A.M (or so), moving to the living room in the apartment with a book to read and my minimalist art bag.
My Art Bag:
A small (7in x 4.5in x 2.5in) bag, the bag is for mobile and passport, but I use it for my art. It contains:
– Sketchbook.
– Water colour metal palette with 3 brush.
– And black Pens : 0.05m, 0.3m, 0.8, and white gel pen, and mechanical pencil.

The bag/case is a mobile/Passport travel case, I use it for my art.
Metal colour palette, it comes with 14 colors, but I add the middle raw and divide the head to small squares so I can mix more colours.


Here are 13 sketches that I drew in London, all were under low-lights sitting on the couch 🛋 having my morning coffee ☕️.
More sketches in the blog.
Daily Sketch practice

I think it still needs some hashes for shadows, but I stop here.
This is today sketch practice.

Sometimes, the focus just jumps to the fences. Here is another shot for the Ostrich looking up. It has a long nick and legs.
Ostriches display a variety of behaviours, including social interactions, foraging, and defensive strategies. They live in groups, typically flocks of 10-50 individuals.

The Ostrich, the large bird that doesn’t fly!. Shot taken with Sony RX100vii camera in Classic Chrome picture profile.
About:
The ostrich is the world’s largest and heaviest bird, native to Africa. Although it cannot fly, it is an excellent runner, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Ostriches have long necks, powerful legs, and large eyes, which help them spot predators from a distance. They are known for their unique two-toed feet and for laying the largest eggs of any living land animal. Ostriches are omnivores and typically live in savannas and open woodlands.
