at the machinery alley around Seoul Station

21 x 29.7 cm, pencil
I sketched this one on the day before the 30th sketchcrawl day Surveying the Seoul Station. I found this alley moving from the station to the city hall. It's called 'Machinery Alley' and located between Soonhwa-dong and Bongrae-dong, Chung-ku. The alley was said to have been formed since Japanese Colonial era. A man who worked there said that photographers have taken photos there often. Dark atmosphere at bottom and the light above between the buildings was impressive. I may stop for sketching more when I happen to pass the alley.

사진 찍는다는 핑계로 그림은 몇 장 안 그리고 유선생님과 즐거운 수다만 나누었더니 결과물이 별로 없습니다.

Seoul sketchers including me met at the Seoul Railroad Station for the 30th Worldwide sketchcrawl. The Old Seoul Station was finished on 1925. Recently it was declared national historical monument and under remodelling into a Culture Complex Building. The top one was sketched on the bus stop crowded with passersby in order to express the good view and strong monumentality.

#30th Sketchcrawl at Seoul Station

In newly built Seoul Station were there many restaurants and shops. I caught a corner next to the Dunkin donuts. (pencil, 21 x 29.7 cm)

Nine sketchers participated in this sketchcrawl. It was cold. We met at the Food Court on 3rd floor of Seoul Railroad Station located at Bongrae-dong, Chung-ku, Seoul. We began sketching the buildings and traffic around the station through the pane glasses. We enjoyed delicious meals there and coffee. After sharing and talking we finished the 30th sketchcrawl satisfactorily. Thank you all very much!

#30th Sketchcrawl in Seoul Station

오늘 서울역을 사전 답사했습니다. 신역사 3층에 있는 푸드코트가 서울역 건너편이 거의 180도 정도 좌악 보여서 실내에서 그리기 아주 좋을 것같습니다. 물론 밖에서도 그리셔도 좋겠지요. 내일 오전 10시 30분부터 푸드코트에서 그리실 분은 시작하시기 바랍니다. 내일 뵙겠습니다.
(I surveyed around Seoul Station today and found the good place, Food Court, on 3rd floor of newly built Seoul Station. Let's start sketching there. You can sketch out despite of cold weather too. See you there tomorrow on 10:30 am!)
