at my village

The house at Gugi-dong, which I used to draw just before I got on the shuttle bus,

pencil & watercolor, 30.5 x 22.9 cm

Today I left my house 30 minutes earlier than usual in order to sketch with watercolors. It took less than 40 minutes. The sunlit orange color and white walls are always attractive.

"Angel In Us" coffeeshop nearby Gunguk University, Seoul

pen, A 4

I went to coffee shop 'Angel In Us' around Gunguk University. While waiting for friends to come, I sketched the inside scenery of the cafe. After they came in I showed this sketch they said 'marvelous!'. Participating in sketching I became to spend the little time effectively.

on a warm day at Jongno Culture & Gym and Cheongryangri Market

at the side entrance of the Jongno Culture and Gym, charcoal, A 4

I could capture a new scenery which I've used to pass by.

The blue building located near the Sejongno Catholic Church had been catching my eyes always whenever I had passed it. The composition at the bottom of which Korean traditional house remained out of redevelopment of the area looked different from the usual spots where I'd sketched before. I drew this one in front of the main gate of Sajig Park, Sajig-dong, Jongno-ku, Seoul.

On the way going to Cheongryangri market I sketched the woman at bus. She offered her seat to an old woman. How kind she was!

I took a seat at the market, so big...to capture would never be possible. 

Always bustling, being crowded, lively.........

He was cutting the half-dried pollack to his customer.

I drew one more being caught by the sunlit scenery full of energy.

How convenient was it to use soft pastels and charcoal instead of watercolors!

I love both the material and the scenery.

at Myungmul Street of Sinchon near Yonsei University, Seoul

pen, A 4

KH Lee said : I had a promise to meet friends at Starbucks in Myungmul Street in the afternoon. While waiting for them to arrive at I started to sketch the scenery seen through the window. I found that it was a useful time to sketch something even for a while. Rather I feared them to come earlier before I finished.

Yesterday, despite the cold weather we had a good sketch time with plenty of subject than I had expected. POSCO Center, a landmark in the heart of southern Seoul's Teheran Valley high-tech venture corridor also hosts a wide variety of free cultural programs, events, and exhibitions throughout the year. I sketched in and out, here and there, seeking for the various subjects. It was a pleasing day all together!

Dongbu Building seen from the 2nd floor of POSCO Center Building

When we arrived at the building at 10 : 30 am, we found that POSCO CENTER CONCERT would be held at 6 pm.  It's said that POSCO has been offering various kinds of concerts once a month for people. It's interesting that the ticket is free and given out on the lottery system at internet.  At the stage of entrance lobby and the 2nd floor all the staffs for the concert were very busy. What a lucky coincidence! In the afternoon, a large group for TV drama location came in with lots of equipment. I captured one scene hurriedly. It was very fun to sketch hearing nice songs in rehearsal. Thank you all!

at Omori handmade noodle restaurant, Baekseok, Ilsan city

handmade noodle dish with shellfish soup (바지락 손칼국수)with kimchi

expanding the dough with hands (I sketched in different restaurant before.)

in the process of making noodle from a lump of dough

After finishing the cook arranges the noodles on table.

He boils them when the customers order.

He puts the boiled noodle on a sieve for deleting extra water.

Another cook puts shellfish soup or black soybean sauce on noodle by the orders.

Last Sunday I went to Baekseok, Ilsan city near Seoul for some business. I dropped in Omori noodle restaurant for lunch. After having the dish I looked in the kitchen which located in the corner of the building. Passengers could see the show of making noodle through the pane glass in street. It's interesting to see how the cook makes noodle from a lump of dough. I sketched the process on my small sketchbook. I added the expanding scene from the archive which was sketched a year ago in different restaurant.
