Hello,
I’m Safa,
I’m an artist living in Easton, Bristol. I love drawing and documenting my life and travels. My sketchbook is my travelling companion; from the gardens of Alhambra to the whimsical landscape of Cappadocia, my drawings capture moments and places of joy in my life. This later becomes a source of inspiration for my linocuts.

Sketch by Sam Marshall, is not just any drawing book! A drawing book that gently guides you to succeed every step of the way. When Sam asked if I would like to be a part of the sketch squad, I was very excited but also knew this will be a challenge for me. For years I struggled to draw, often procrastinating and not knowing where to begin. Sketch guided me to expand my practice and confidence. Each section supports your development, allowing you to progress and build your practice. As a sketch squad member, I followed through each section and contributed towards Sam’s book. My creative journey with Sketch and Sam’s expertise has taken me to places I would never have imagined! Sam’s engaging exercises will help you gain the skills and build your self belief. A drawing book that is unlike others!
