Original Idea
World Sketching Tour in Europe is a graphic novel by me, Luís Simões, a freelance illustrator and traveler sketcher creator from Lisbon, Portugal. Since 2012 I’ve been traveling and sketching the world and the goal of this crowdfunding is to collect the majority of the sketches I did and write the story of the journey into a beautiful hardcover book, along with new sketches and some merchandising!
World Sketching Tour in Europe
What is the World Sketching Tour?
It’s a journey started in March 2012 of a nomad – me – showing the bright side of the world in the form of sketches. As in all the adventures, there were many unforgettable moments that I got involved and become great stories.
You can read more about the project here.

The Goal and Why I Need Your Help:
Self-Publishing is hard and expensive, especially if you want to make a fancy high quality hardcover book. With this campaign I hope to cover all the expenses in producing a print run of 300 copies (or more in the off chance the campaign supersedes it’s goal) and to show my work to a wider audience.
