It was my first experience to "officially" join Urbansketchers Japan team today so I was a bit nervous but I knew some participants who were also the first timer via Instagram, so I was both nervous and exciting!!
But in the morning when I woke up, it was already 9:36am!! We were supposed to be at Tokyo station at 11:00am! I was already 30min late!! Way to go sinizzio!
Anyway, I got there exactly 30min late but everything was fine. I acted really cool (LOL) and introduced myself and my wife to other members of USk Japan and we all got to sketch together! Exciting part was meeting with a couple of friends from Instagram. We all knew each other and talked on Instagram but never met in person!! But as you know how it is, right away, we were like old friends!! Awesomeness!!
今日はワールド・ワイド・スケッチクロールに行って来た。同時に今日はアーバンスケッチャーズの10周年記念として、世界中でもみんなスケッチウォークをする事になっているようで、いわば今日はスケッチャーズのお祭りみたいなもんだね。
こういうイベントに今まで一度も参加した事が無いので、どんなものか不安もあったけど、インスタグラムで繋がっていた友だちも参加すると聞いたので、不安半分ドキドキ半分で挑みました。
で、朝。目覚めたら既に９時半とか！僕らは11時に東京駅の新マルビル集合だったので、この時点で既に30分の遅刻が確定。なにやってんだ！？
ま、キッチリ30分遅れで到着したけど、みんな既にスケッチ中。何事も無かった風に颯爽と紛れ込む。そして、インスタグラムで繋がっていた何人かの友だちと現実に会う！！実際に今まであった事無いはずなのに、インスタで繋がってお互いの絵とか見て、コメントし合っているせいもあって、全然初対面じゃないみたいなこのノリ！サイコ〜！
This one was the very first sketch that I did of Tokyo station... In my mind, I was very sure everything will fit in the page, but no... it didn't... no....
一番最初のトライ。描く前は完全に全部はいる計算だったんだけど、入るわけが無い！！
It was sunny but as were were sketching it got bit cloudy.
到着当時は天気もよくて上着脱いだんだけど、途中から曇ったね。

This one was my second try. But it still is very distorted, I somehow shurunk it a half size!?
で、こちらが２度目の。これでさえ大幅に縮められている！！
We could sketch more but we were also hungry... so off to lunch!!
もっと描きたかったんですが、さすがにお腹もすいちゃってね。
After lunch, we started sketching each other.
みんなでお昼を食べて、一段落したら誰ともなくみんなスケッチをし出すという。
This is my sketch.
I added more color a few days later.
楽しすぎ。
