two sketches in/out on a bitterly cold day

charcoal, A 4
After swimming I walked down to Gwanghwamun to buy some art material at Namdaemun market. On the way at Naejadong, I saw this scene. I couldn't pass over and in the middle point returned to the pedestrian road for sketching across this street. It was so cold that my fingers got numbed. But the shiny light was there contrasted by the vertical dark lines of the Integrated Govermental Building in back.

pen, charcoal, A 4
I had lunch at the Melodies, large scale food court of Kyobo Book Center. After having deliciously I sketched the bustling scene inside of the kitchen. I planned how to capture them while having Gimbab(rice wrapped with black laver within which kinds of vegetable were put in the center) with hot soybean sauce soup.

pencil & watercolor
Sketched on March, 2009. I was caught by the dark space of the 2nd floor of parking space contrasted by the Jongno Tower Building. Only sketches could make remind me of the air at that time as for me.

It took one hour from Oksu Station to Yongmun Station by subway. KW Jung, HS Song and I kept sketching people in subway. We had hot soup and rice as lunch in temperorary snack booth and had other delicious snacks of course in the afternoon. We bought cheap and fresh vegetables after sketching. Thank you!

sketches from a bus window going to market




at Kyungdong Market, Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-ku, Seoul
pencil, market, 10.5 x 18 cm sketchbook
I kept sketching vehicles on streets. The market was lively with customers and merchants as always. Capturing the sceneries with withered awnings in old markets was very exciting too.
경동시장으로 가는 버스의 앞자리에서 창으로 보이는 자동차 오토바이들의 재미난 모습을 내내 스케치했어요. 참으로 역동적이지요. 쉴새없이 움직이며 다양한 모습이 연출되는 것이 사직동에서 제기동까지 도착하는 40분 가까운 시간이 전혀 지루하지 않았구요. 시장...더 말할 필요도 없는 삶의 원천같은 곳이구요!
