Spanish cuisine

I have to confess. Together with hiking and swimming, food became one of my favourite experiences in Spain. And also one of my favourite topics to draw! This is a collection of my food travel sketches from different parts of this sunny country.

Materials: Copic markers, colored pencils, sketchbook 15x15cm
