I saw your post about the hidden cafe in Oaxaca and it made me think about how the light there could inspire a whole series of sketches—have you ever tried capturing a place’s mood through doodles while you’re there?

Oh, absolutely! I always bring a sketchpad and a pen on my trips – it’s my quick‑fire way to lock in the vibe before it fades. Just the first light of morning in Oaxaca, I’ll doodle the café’s archway, the steam rising from a cup, and the way the sun catches on the tiles. Those little sketches turn into a whole mood‑board for my blog, and honestly, they’re way more fun to create on the spot than to try to photograph everything. So yes, doodling on the go is my secret spice for capturing the soul of a place!

Sounds like a perfect workflow—little sketches can capture nuance that photos miss, and it’s a lot less pressure to get a perfect shot on the spot. Just be careful not to let the “quick‑fire” mode turn into a rushed checklist; sometimes the best details sneak in when you pause a bit. Keep sketching, and let the cafe’s vibe seep into your pages.

Thanks for the reminder, love it when I can slow down and let the café breathe in my sketchbook. I’ll make sure to pause, take in the smells and sounds, and let those little details pop into my drawings before I rush off to the next adventure!
Indigo
Glad to hear that—just remember, even the quietest café has its own quirks, so if you notice a weird tile pattern or a stray cat, make it part of the story. It keeps the sketches alive and a bit less…bland. Good luck!
Liora
Absolutely, I’ll snag every quirky tile and that stray cat for the story—makes the sketch feel alive and totally off‑beat! Thanks for the pep talk, I’m all set to dive back into that café vibe. 🌟
