"My Favorite Place" sketchbook - finally finished!

So, it took a while... But finally, it is done! And it's really beautiful to see the complete sketchbook, full of different favorite places, different styles, but common vibe :)
Here are Nathan's and my entries, we sketch together a lot, mostly in Tel Aviv, so our sketches have something in common :)

One of my favorite places is... yes, how not? the beach! This on the border between Tel Aviv and Jaffa, you can see the Tel Aviv high buildings on the background, and just beside it is the Old City of Jaffa.

The second one is my favorite ice cream - Anita. There is always a line. But it moves fast. And it is delicious!

These days Nathan is busy by watching Fifa world cup. So he sketched while watching ;)

 But the beach is our common love - so here is one of Nathan's views on the beach.

People on the way • Aurore

It's been a long time I wanted to sketch the Eritrean community coming to celebrate its weddings in the park of the old city and on Jaffa beach !

Every week end almost, a new group appears, always dressed in white with architectural hair style.
They are all dressed in white in the same costume with a pattern that define them as a group, only the groom and the bride has a different color of pattern.

They are simply beautiful…

Bon Appetit!

I always say that "food, drink & sketching" is my perfect happiness' formula. So, the theme of my sketchbook is "Local food and drink". Food defines a lot the character of the place, the local culture and tradition. Food connects people, always come together with nice conversations, laugh, emotions. I love sketch people that are busy by eating and drinking - they are great models!

Humus is probably the food identified with Israel the most. This place with an excellent humus in the middle of the Jaffa's flea market was a perfect place for my first sketch (and yummy humus, of course!)

Fish and a lot of delicious salads - are the specials of another very famous place in Jaffa called "The Old Man and the Sea". The bright blue sea at the horizon is a perfect decoration of the restaurant.

Can't wait to see your delicious entries - Bon Appetit!

A walk in the flea market

Here is the subject of the sketchbook I have started for our exchange !

Let me introduce myself a little bit… I am a french graphic designer & illustrator from Paris. Since I married an Israeli, I have been living this past 8 years in Jaffa (you can say as well Yafo, the pretty), south part of Tel Aviv and also where take place the ancient port (2500 years old !), the old city and the flea market. I love to draw my neighborhood and I keep on finding inspiration after 8 years… I thought that it might be funny to compare our flea markets in Jaffa and in Berlin !

The Moleskine that has been sent by Omar has been lost on the way to Israel, so we are doing our own handmade sketchbooks… A good excuse to have fun as well on the covers !
