Share Your Travel Sketches With a Global Creative Audience
artistEarth.com was created for artists who move through the world with a sketchbook—those who draw in airports, observe from train windows, pause in museum courtyards, and capture the quiet details of unfamiliar streets. As the editorial sister‑site to Sketchbooks.org, it celebrates the creative act of being in a place, and the stories that emerge when artists sketch on the move.
We are now opening an ongoing Call for Submissions for travel‑inspired sketches to be featured on artistEarth.com. This is an opportunity for Sketchbooks.org members to gain additional visibility across a platform dedicated entirely to creative travel, cultural discovery, and the art of observing the world slowly.

What We’re Looking For
Travel sketches come in many forms, and we welcome the full range of on‑the‑go creativity. These may include:
- Drawings made during transit—on trains, buses, ferries, or flights
- Street scenes, architectural impressions, and cultural textures
- Museum sketches and moments of quiet observation
- Landscapes, city corners, and unexpected viewpoints
- Quick impressions made while exploring new environments
- Personal reflections tied to geography and movement
The focus is not on perfection, but on presence. Travel sketches carry the energy of the moment—shifting light, unfamiliar surroundings, and the immediacy of drawing from life.
How to Submit Your Travel Sketches
Travel sketches uploaded to your Sketchbooks.org gallery are automatically considered for editorial features on artistEarth.com. If you’d like to bring a specific sketch or series to our attention more quickly, you may also submit it through the Article Submissions section on this page.
All images go into a Random showing of Sketch image on the site. Then our editors will pick it up from here to get sketches into specific pages and posts that match your art to a Place.
Why Submit?
Being featured on artistEarth.com gives your work a wider audience—one specifically interested in travel, creativity, and the stories artists tell through their sketchbooks. Each feature links directly back to your Sketchbooks.org gallery, helping new viewers discover your work and learn more about your artistic practice.
Selected sketches may appear in:
- Destination‑based articles
- Creative travel stories
- Cultural and historical features
- Gear and on‑the‑go sketching pieces
- Curated inspiration collections
- Cross‑site highlights shared with the Sketchbooks.org community
artistEarth.com is quickly becoming a hub for artists who sketch the world. Having your work featured there helps draw more fans, followers, and fellow travelers to your gallery on Sketchbooks.org.
Creative Travel for Musicians and Artists
A Partner Site for Music-Minded Travelers
Sketchbooks.org has a companion site called InternetMusicPlayer.com, dedicated to the art of traveling as a musician. Just as artists sketch their journeys, this site celebrates how musicians create, document, and reflect while on the move.
Featured Work: The Sound of Ink
InternetMusicPlayer.com showcases visual work from the page Sketching Musicians and Bands | The Sound of Ink, where music‑minded artists upload sketches, portraits, and travel‑inspired drawings of bands, instruments, and soundscapes. Each featured image is presented with full artist credits and a direct link back to their gallery on Sketchbooks.org, giving contributors meaningful visibility beyond the sketchbook community. By placing their work in front of traveling musicians, music fans, and creative readers who might not otherwise explore visual‑arts platforms, this partnership expands the reach of Sketchbooks.org artists and introduces their sketchbooks to a wider, cross‑disciplinary audience.

What Counts as a “Travel Sketch”?
A travel sketch is any drawing made in response to a place you’re visiting—whether that place is new to you or simply seen with fresh eyes. It might be:
- A street corner you’ve never noticed before
- A train station during a layover
- A museum gallery that surprised you
- A landscape from a hiking trail
- A café scene in a different neighborhood
- A quick impression made while waiting for a bus
Travel is defined by movement, curiosity, and attention—not distance.
