Topkapi Palace, Istanbul - Turkey / Part 2

Topkapi Palace is a great place to draw:  a lot of visitors for the ones who love to draw people, magnificent objects for those who like patterns and fabrics and amazing buildings and decorations.
Not enough time to really go deep in all these subjects but some little sketches just to remind myself to go back there…

Istanbul - Turkey / Part 1

While all the urban sketchers (almost !) were in Barcelona in july, I was in Istanbul with my family, discovering this surprising and huge city, meeting these amazing people and civilization… Here is the first part of the travel sketchbook I did there. We decided to do a small cruise on a boat on the Bosporus, a good way to have a first impression of the geography of the city

You can see the complete collection of drawing on my flickr album :

Waiting for the boat to leave, in front of the Mosque Yeni

(On the left) A stop in front of a beautiful palace, didn't figure out what it was… sorry !

On the left the Bosporus Bridge that changes of color at night - On the right the Topkapi Palace very far away

People inside the boat were as much interesting to draw as the outside !
