japan - all the sketches

Sketches from my moleskine during my time in Japan (Oct-Nov 2012).

I brought all possible art implements with me to Japan thinking I would have all the time in the world to draw, but as it turned out, I didn't. I mainly found myself drawing in my moleskine with whatever I had in my pencil case - usually just a red mechanical pencil and various pens or pencils I bought along the way. I tried using ink once, but I just didn't have time to treat it nicely.

The pictures are all out of order.. descriptions are as follows (from the top)-

- at the park next to the Furukawa's house where I spent much of my time recovering - Izumi Aobadai, Osaka
- Osaka-jo (Osaka Castle)
- cafe scene in Osaka station
- guy and girl on train
- sketches of Gembakku Dome (A-bomb Dome) in Hiroshima
- Gembakku Dome by night in pencil
- Gembakku Dome by night in ink
- train scene on the way to pick up sis from Kansai airport
- Laputa Robot on the roof of Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo
- kid at park



(my sister is appalled that I'm uploading my sketches this way, but i didn't want to spend time uploading them one by one and then have no one look at them! there are a few that I think I might upload by themselves, though. If you have a request, please say!)
