Last post of the day and first drawing I did now I am back in the UK for the holidays. This is just a view from the couch in my parents house, done in ink and watercolour.

#264 – Shanghai Ceiling
This is part of the ceiling of Shanghai airport – sketched in watercolour and ink, on my way to the UK from the Philippines. I decided that the whole thing was way too complicated to sketch – but maybe I’ll give it a try on the way back.

#263 – Gate 2 Terminal 1
After only a few days at home I took an early morning flight to the UK to visit my parents for Christmas. I flew China Eastern Airlines and had to queue for 1 1/2 hours to check in at 2am. What fun. Here is the ink and watercolour-pencil sketch I did when I finally reached the gate.

#262 – Tree
Here is a little ink and watercolour painting I did back at home one evening. Our Christmas tree is, as always, overloaded with tinsel, lights and an odd collection of decorations.

#261 – Terminal 3 arrival
Another sketch on my journey home. I drew this using a UniPin pen when I arrived while waiting to be picked up.

#260 -Gate B30 queue
Here is another ink sketch (using a UniPin pen) on route from Lebanon to the Philippines – this one was done at Dubai airport just as people were boarding the plane. There was no queue really – just a great crush to get on board, so I waited for the worst to be over.

#259 – Waiting at gate 23
Here is another ink and water drawing done at Beirut airport – the bloke in the foreground didn’t come out well but the others are OK.

#258 – Guy at airport
Posting some long overdue sketches which I’ve been doing over the last week. I haven’t had time to post for a while and because of all the travel I’ve been doing I’ve lost track of the days – so I’ve given up referring to “Day 258 etc.”… instead I’ll just post as numbers…but still do one a day I hope. This one was done in ink at Beirut Airport in the evening. The guy moved before I could do much more!

Day 257 – Coffee cup
Hopefully this is my last drawing in my hotel room, done last night in ink, watercolour and watercolour pencil. Flying back home tonight, so I guess I’ll be sketching at airports for a while.
