Aotearoa: A Sketchpacker's Diary

I've been on 3 trips so far this year, but I still haven't finished my sketches from Hong Kong and Bandung from April and May. Thankfully, I've just completed my sketches from New Zealand (actually all but 2 blank pages that I left out with intentions to draw my packing list). I'll put up the drawings from my earlier trips in the coming months, but here are the New Zealand sketches for now. Enjoy!
