I have competed in Dubai nearly every year since 2014. These drawings are from March 2018. It was the first time I was able to relax and draw there because in the past I had been busy with revision for A-Levels or writing essays for uni. When it comes to athletics competitions I can only really spend time at the track or in the hotel (which, in this case, has a pool and is connected to a mall). It’s a bad idea to tire yourself out being a typical tourist, it may look like a holiday but I did have a job to do!
