Sketch Book Journey – 5

African Dreams

Sometimes I get wistful and dream of being back in Africa, I think I must have been having one of those moments when I drew this. Using the same swirling shapes from the previous day’s sketch this time instead of blocking in I felt compelled to draw patterns. It reminded me of the material shops in Kariakoo market in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and the patterns on the kitenges the women wore in Tanzania.
