During my trip back home last week (8th Oct) I had a few hours wait in Singapore, so of course I took the opportunity to do a sketch (in ink, watercolour and watercolour pencil). These are the glass screens leading into the departure gate area.

Day 188 – Dhaka Airport
I drew this quick sketch late at night waiting for my check in counter to be announced – just a simple ink drawing. Couldn’t resist that wacky structure!
Day 187 – Gulshan Lake Park
Here is one of my last sketches in Dhaka, done on my day off (Friday 7th) – I took a walk to another park. The lake was a brown smudge at the bottom of steep banks, but there were lots of lovely green trees. This was done with a Uni Pin pen, watercolour and watercolour pencils.
Day 186 – Resting
Another one in Dhaka – here is me putting my feet up on the coffee table after a long day at work. This is done in ink and water-soluble graphite.
Day 185 – Bedside table
Here is the bedside table in my hotel room in Dhaka – I was going for a simple colorful and geometric style in this one. I did this in ink, watercolour and watercolour pencils.
Day 184 – Spotlights on pictures
Today I am sharing the last few sketches I did in Dhaka…I managed to keep up doing a drawing each day, I was just too busy to publish them. This one (in ink and watercolour pencil) I did while waiting for my dinner – of the wall in the restaurant where they had a nice display of pictures. I was more interested in the shadows cast by the spotlights though.
Day 183 – Real flowers
Here is the vase of flowers the hotel kindly put on the glass coffee table – I was surprised because they look so perfect I thought they might be plastic! I did this sketch in watercolour, a UniBall pen and watercolour pencils.
Day 182 – Green lake RAJUK park
Finally got out today for a nice stroll in what must be a rare and quiet oasis (Baridhara Lake Side RAJUK Park) in Dhaka – so I took the chance to do this sketch in watercolour and ink.
Day 181 – Room version 3
New hotel room, new sketch (watercolour, ink and watercolour pencils. This is version three because I drew it several times before I was satisfied….but I still think something is lacking!
Day 180 – Driver
I’ve been spending so much of my time stuck in the Dhaka traffic, I thought I’d sketch my driver (in ink and watercolour) – thanks to him I can snooze and sketch the hours away. This is a bit wobbly because we did actually move from time to time.
