I Sketched Fellow Passengers On The Ferry In Amsterdam In A Tiny Sketchbook, Here’s The Result (30 Pics)
My name is Rachelle Meyer. I’m an American illustrator living in Amsterdam, specializing in children's books and storytelling. In 2017, I started sketching fellow passengers on the NDSM ferry in a tiny sketchbook. It's a short but sweet trip of about 12 minutes, connecting my home in Amsterdam Noord with my studio in the center of town. When I'd get to work, I'd make a cup of coffee and finish off the hasty little pencil sketches in about 15 minutes or so.
I started off by posting these sketches on Instagram.
Once the sketchbook was full, I flipped through it and thought that there was more to it than the sum of its parts. It told a joyous little story of the changing of the seasons from winter to spring. So I made a film and put it on YouTube.
The film and the sketches received a lot of positive feedback that led to new commissions, television interviews, and speaking engagements.

What is she holding in her hand? And I love these! I draw too but this is something I'm not good at. They look simple at first but when you pay attention to the details you see it takes more than just a couple of minutes to draw the texture, shadows etc. Or at least I think so, not sure how fast it is when you are as talented as you and already know what to do to achieve a desired effect.
