Yesterday
was Worldwide Sketchcrawl day and I was fortunate enough to be in
Barcelona and able to join their sketchcrawl. I missed the start due to
having a lovely catch-up breakfast with a friend, so I took the tourist tramvia blau up to Plaça
Dr. Andreu arriving shortly before the other sketchers. My first sketch
of the day had to be the tram, but as it only stayed a short while, the
sketch became a composite of the trams.

Whilst trying to capture the tram, I started my second drawing, this time the building for the Funicular de Tibidabo. Despite an underdrawing it fell off the page, which is a problem that keeps occuring.

Taking
the funicular up to the Parc del Tibidado, we gathered for a mid-way
point photo. Coincidently, the park mascots wandered past and were
coerced into the photo.

Unfortunately, the "spectacular views" were
hidden behind cloud, so I started drawing the plane, which was one of
the original rides from the park's opening in 1928. As with the tram, I
had to start a second sketch as I could only capture it as passengers
got on and off, hence the sweet cart on the left page. I'm not one for
doing spreads, so after sketching the people at a bus stop, I copied
Elena's idea of linking them with the old, big wheel. Finally, I added
the genuine American hotdog stand.

I'm quite pleased with how the spread came out, what do you think?
