TIP 10 | Bring Your Ideas to Life – Doodle Your Ideas on Post-it Anywhere

Yesterday I went to the hospital for a body check-up in Saigon. I checked my hung, liver, stomach, blood, cholesterol, diabetes, and so on… In the end, the doctor said I am 100% healthy. : )

Once in awhile, do a complete health check-up!

Someone looking at the queue number on the screen.

I guess I started to get crazy waiting for so long.

Checking at his paper. He was wearing his military inspired helmet for motorbike.

These glasses with thick black frames seam quite popular in Saigon.

The Saigon hospital is crowded and gave me a feeling of a Supermarket where people came and go anywhere, but it’s yet organized.

More body check I had to do, more waiting room I had to go through one by one. The free time in between gave plenty of short time to sketch. My friend took out some post-it from her bag and I started to draw thumbnails of peoples around me.

TIP 10 Do Post-it sketch anywhere you go!

Doodling on post-it may not give instant great results, but it’s fun to get a bit more observant of local people and their environment. So, keep the eye-opening, and enjoy the present moment. It is like urban sketching.

And you, do you also like sketching anything, anywhere?

Hey there!

I am looking for a person that can make a 2D drawing from a 3D model. I saw that you have made a video about that, and thought that you was interested. I need a sketch based on a 3D earbud model. Contact me if you are interested!

Kind Regards,
