Travel sketches of China and Vietnam

I drew this on a particularly hot afternoon in a restaurant in Hanoi. The staff were taking advantage of a quiet period and having a nap. This meant I could sketch them unawares and capture an atmospheric scene.




This was drawn in Youngshou a town in southern China. The scene just cried out to be drawn.

I spent a couple of days in Nanning a large city near the Vietnam border waiting for a Vietnamese visa. There wasn't a lot to do except draw. I found something strangely beautiful about these ramshackle barges.
