Reference photos for these sketches can be found on an amazing motorcycle ride report:

A young couple from Estonia took a motorcycle trip around the world. It took them several years, and they kept a blog on the Adventure riders website. Margus and Karlina traveled 170,000 km over 1,126 days, and traveled through 70 countries. The photographs are what dazzled me – the quality, and the content – they have fantastic images of people, places and things they encountered. I do not presume that my sketches are anywhere close to the quality of their photos, just that I was touched by them. So, here are a couple – just a start. I received their permission to post these.
If you have some time, stop by and read their report – you won’t be bored!

Thank you Claire! I having been having more fun than I thought I would. It was intimidating at first, now I’m starting to get the ‘feel’ of things. Also, I don’t publish the ones that came out too terrible!
Wonderful ‘people’ sketches! I’m always so intimidated at the thought of capturing a person. These look so relaxed. Very nice.
Just offering a helping hand… the advrider link above isn’t correct.
