figs, waterfalls + sketchbook ideas | a cyprus-inspired draw with me

After a little summer break, I’m back! In this video I’m sharing some of the inspiration I brought home from Cyprus, including all the lovely little things I photographed and recorded along the way. There are figs (quite a lot of figs), a waterfall adventure, and plenty of sketchbook time as I play around with ideas inspired by the trip. I’ll also be chatting about how I approach the ideas stage of an illustration traditionally, and why I love using my sketchbook to experiment, doodle and work things out before creating a finished piece. So settle in for a relaxed draw with me / artist vlog and come have a little sketchbook session with me! 🛍️ shop: ✶ https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CharlyLane 🎨 social media: ✶ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlylaned... ✶ tiktok:   / charlylanedraws   📸 equipment: ✶ camera: sony A7C II ✶ lens: sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM ✶ mic: rode wireless me ✶ cutting machine: siser juliet ✶ ipad pro 2025 13 inch ✶ drawing program: procreate 🎧 music: ✶ youtube audio library, pixabay, and epidemic sound 🏷️ #studiovlog #sonya7cii #illustration #photography #videography #creativejourney #artistvlog #designer #storytelling #sonyalpha #artistlife #cosyvlog #cyprus #sketchbook #poscapens #drawwithme
