Sketchbook Extract - New Mexico 06

Here are some more drawings from my USA trip in 06. These are from the window of the train. Drawing from the window of a moving vehicle is a great way to improve your drawing, you have to draw fast! Also as the scenery changes the idea of your drawing has to change. If you went out to New Mexico and traced every last inch of it's amazing landscape you will not find where these sketches were drawn because these landscapes are made up of a number of different views seen as we travelled through on a fast train. Yet, to me, they are still very New Mexico.
