I’m in the mood for some sight-seeing today. I took a quick tour around Barcelona through the sketchbook of Òscar Julve. He is an illustrator from Spain who challenged himself to draw his city for an entire year. Barcelona, 365 is the well-chosen titled for his blog. I really enjoy seeing artists set specific motivational challenges for themselves to get sketching, even if it’s an idea as simple as doodling your way through your hometown. It’s easy to get caught in the details when sketching something right in front of you, but Julve’s talented hands stick to creating rough sketches out of thin lines that evocatively capture the ambiance of Barcelona’s corners.
